What is the ruling on ceasing to supplicate for marriage, and what about supplicating for offspring after menopause? And is ceasing to supplicate evidence of Allah's wisdom?

The answer is summarized in five main points: First: There is no harm for a person in being attached to permissible worldly matters, and supplicating for them is legislated and beloved by Allah. Second: Supplicating for something that is usually impossible is considered an transgression in supplication and is forbidden. Third: The answering of supplication is not limited to one form; it may be by averting a calamity or by storing up reward, and the supplicant should entrust their affair to Allah. Fourth: One should be persistent in supplication and not hasty. If it is not answered, it is due to divine wisdom, and one should be content with Allah's decree. Fifth: Part of perfect entrustment to Allah is adhering to comprehensive supplications that encompass the good of both this world and the hereafter. This involves following the Sunnah (definition) and surrendering to Allah's judgment.

From the above, it is understood that supplicating for a permissible and possible matter is not blameworthy. If it is not answered, one must submit to Allah's judgment. There may be signs, such as a constricted chest or visions, indicating that Allah does not desire this matter for the servant, and one should perform istikharah. If it becomes easy, it is good; if it becomes difficult, that is a sign that Allah does not desire it for them, and one must be content and submit.
