Fatwa #419120 November 2001United States of America

Is there a Hadith that supports making any Du’aa in Arabic while in Sajda during Salaat (in addition to reciting “Subhana Rabbi’al Aala”)?

Question

If one does not know Arabic, can he use any other language?

Answer

There are other Du'aas mentioned in the Ahaadith. These may be recited in
Nafl Salaats. As for Fardh, Waajib and Sunnah Salaats, it is best to confine
oneself to, 'Subhaana Rabbial a-alaa.'

In Salaat, one may only make Du'aa in Arabic. Out of Salaat, one may make Du
'aa in any language.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
