Is praying for one's deaf daughter to regain her natural hearing considered an act of transgression?
It is prescribed for the sick person and their family to supplicate for their healing, as the healing of the sick is possible. Islamic law has encouraged seeking treatment, clarifying that there is no disease without a cure except old age. Allah answered Ayyub’s supplication and removed his affliction. As for transgression in supplication, it is to ask for what is not permissible according to Islamic law, such as asking for forbidden things, or what is usually impossible, like asking for immortality or a child without a spouse. Every request that contradicts Allah’s wisdom, His law, or His decree is a transgression that Allah does not love, nor does He love the one who makes it.
