- Is it permissible to supplicate for worldly matters such as success, healing, and the resolution of problems during prostration in a prescribed prayer, after glorifying Allah by saying "Subhana Rabbi wa bihamdihi" three times?
It is permissible for a Muslim to supplicate in their prayer for whatever good they desire in this world and the hereafter, as long as they do not supplicate for a sin or the severance of kin ties. This is the preponderant view among scholars and the school of thought of the Shafi'is and Malikis. In contrast, the Hanafis and Hanbalis hold the view that it is not permissible to supplicate for worldly pleasures and desires.
