Is supplicating for increased height and stature, physical and sexual strength, improved appearance and facial features, sound judgment, and healing from chronic, incurable diseases considered an transgression in supplication? And is the supplicant rewarded for their supplication for Muslims?

"Transgression in supplication typically means asking for the impossible, such as praying for increased height after growth is complete, or for a change in skin color, or for a woman who has reached menopause to bear a child. However, praying for healing from a chronic illness is not considered transgression. A person in dire need may supplicate for the removal of their harm, even if it involves defying the usual course of events. The one who supplicates for the general Muslim populace is rewarded."
