Summary

Supplicating in ruku' is permissible according to the conclusion of this fatwa, in line with the majority of scholars who rely on Aisha's hadith about the Prophet asking for forgiveness in ruku' and sujud. Imam Malik held it to be disliked, since the hadith of Ibn Abbas directs that ruku' be used to glorify Allah. Although permissible, it is more virtuous to make supplication during sujud, based on the encouragement in that hadith.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.

Sebagai kesimpulan, kami menyatakan bahawa hukum berdoa di dalam rukuk adalah harus.
