What is the ruling on one who supplicates that prayer not be obligatory upon him?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

This supplication is impermissible because it requests the annulment of duties incumbent upon a Muslim, among which is prayer, the pillar of faith. This supplication is considered an transgression, and Allah does not love transgressors in supplication. Allah Almighty says: "Invoke your Lord with humility and in private. Indeed, He does not like aggressors." Furthermore, the acceptance of supplication is contingent upon not supplicating for a sin or the severance of ties of kinship.
