The answer

"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."
