Summary
There are prayers for breaking the fast narrated in hadith, including one in Sunan Abi Daud meaning that thirst has gone, the veins are moistened and the reward is confirmed God willing, with a sanad graded hasan. The well-known prayer "Allahumma laka sumtu" is mursal, so its chain is weaker than the first. The ruling given is that a person may supplicate with any prayer whose meaning does not contradict the Qur’an and hadith, without attributing it to the Prophet. Several other wordings from Ibn Sunni and Ibn Majah are also listed with the grading of their chains.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpandangan bahawa setiap orang boleh dibolehkan berdoa dengan apa jua doa selagimana maksud atau makna doa itu tidak bertentangan dengan al-Qur'an dan hadith Nabi SAW tanpa menyandarkannya kepada Rasulullah SAW.
