Reciting the dua of Yunus (Alaihis Salaam) for someone else
Question
Can we recite dua Yunus for someone else's coming out of danger or recovering for illness? Example - There is an initiation of an Islamic foundation that they want to complete dua Yunus a particular number of times. So they are forwarding the message through people and everyone is reciting at least once and this is for the people of Syria. Is it a correct way?
Answer
Yes.
They may do this individually.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
