Ruling on making du’aa’ in English
Question: 11588
Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
Making du’aa’ in English or in any other language is permissible outside of salaah (prayer). But it is not permissible to say any part of the salaah in any language other than Arabic, according to the majority of scholars.
But if the Muslim can stick to Arabic in all cases, especially in acts of worship – and du’aa’ is an act of worship – that is preferable and is better.
