Is it permissible to make dua in Sujood during the salaah?
Published as Making dua in sajda during Salaah
Question
Is it permissible to make dua in Sujood during the salaah? Also, does this dua have to be in Arabic or can it be in any language? I have heard that if dua is made in any other language other than Arabic in sujood during the salaah, then the Salaah is not valid. Is this correct?
Answer
Yes, it is permissible. It should be in Arabic.
It is makrooh to do so.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
