Making dua in other languages besides Arabic during salaah
Question
While in sujood, can I make dua in my own language? For example, I ask Allah's help for my work, or ask for betterment for my family's health or ask for jannah? If yes then in nafl sujood only or even fard/sunnah?
Answer
During salaah, while performing sajdah, it is not permissible to make dua in any language besides Arabic.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
