Summary

It is permissible to supplicate during prayer with words other than those found in the Quran and the sunnah. The ruling cites the hadiths of Abu Bakr and Aisyah, which show the Prophet taught and recited supplications in prayer that are not in the Quran. Most jurists allow supplications covering worldly and afterlife needs, though using supplications from the Quran and sunnah is better.

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

Kesimpulannya, dibenarkan untuk berdoa dengan doa selain daripada al-Quran dan juga sunnah ketika di dalam solat.
