Is the prayer for a need, as described in a specific manner (12 rak'ahs, tashahhud between every two rak'ahs without taslim, and in the last rak'ah, tashahhud then sujood, and reciting Al-Fatiha, Ayat Al-Kursi, tahlil, and a specific supplication, then asking for the need and taslim) sound?
The "Salat al-Hajah" (Prayer of Need) as described is not authentically established, and one should avoid it because it contains strange elements. The authentic and sound hadiths reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) contain all the good and sufficiency.
