Dua in English

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

In my local masjid,they are praying Witr as  two plus one. In last  Rakaat Imam recite  the dooa in Arabic and English. My question is can Imam  make  dooa in English  too while in last Rakkat of Witr Wajeeb??

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is makruh tahrimi to make Dua whilst in Salah in any language other than Arabic. If one has done so, the Salah will have to be repeated.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
