لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَالْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ وَالسَّلاَمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ لاَ تَدَعْ لِي ذَنْبًا إِلاَّ غَفَرْتَهُ وَلاَ هَمًّا إِلاَّ فَرَّجْتَهُ وَلاَ حَاجَةً هِيَ لَكَ رِضًا إِلاَّ قَضَيْتَهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

 (La ilaha illallah Al-Halimul-Karim. Subhan Allah Rabbil-`Arshil-`Azim. Al-Hamdulillahi Rabbil-`Alamin. As’aluka mujibati rahmatika wa `aza’im maghfiratika, wal-ghanimata min kulli birrin, was-salamata min kulli ithmin, la tada` li dhanban illa ghafartahu, wa la hamman illa farrajtahu, wa la Hajatan hiya laka ridan Illa Qadaitaha, ya arham ar-rahimin)

Translation: ‘None has the right to be worshiped but Allah. Al-Halim (the Forbearing) Al-Karim (the Generous). Glorious is Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I ask You for that which warrants Your mercy, and that which will determine Your forgiveness, and the spoils (fruits) of every righteous deed, and safety from every sin; do not leave a sin for me without forgiving it, nor a worry without relieving it. Or a need that pleases you without granting it. O Most-Merciful of those who have mercy.’³

The ruling of Salat Alhaja

First of all, there is a difference between Salah (prayer) and Dua(supplication).

For Salah, There is a disagreement among scholars regarding performing Salahtul Hajah.

Some scholars did not allow it like AnNawawi, due to the weak authority of the narration of the prophet Hadith about Salatul Haja.⁴ The Hadith about performing that Salah is Da’if. Check references for information about it.⁵

Some scholars allowed it because it is about one of the good deeds that can be performed. Therefore, we can work accordingly to this Hadith and we can perform it.⁶

Conditions of Salah Alhajat

• True faith and trust in Allah is the one that is needed from you, so Allah may accept your Dua. And, your needs or desires be fulfilled.
• Salah Hajah for your need can be performed at any time and not at a specific time except the disliked times.
• It is disliked to pray any Salah at certain times for example from after Fajr to Duha time. And, it’s recommended to perform it in Suhr time which is before Fajr. The last third of the night.
• Dua for Hajah, the Dua above, can be said during the last prostration (sujood) or after performing the Salah.
• Salahtul Hajah is two Rakaa’s according to most scholars. The Hanafi school said they are four Rakaa’s.
• The intention in this Salah is also important to be for your needs or Hajat. Hand over the need or the matter to Allah.
• This Salah can be prayed while sitting even if you can stand because it is Nafl. Unlike Fard, it must be prayed standing.
• Salah Alhaja must be prayed individually and not in a congregation (Jamaa).
