Is Making Such Dua Okay? Or Not Appropriate?
@Irfan76 sir for example if a person needs to study a book but it’s available in pirated version, the original version is a little expensive. He only needs to read a little portion to gain some knowledge. If he asks Allah to cause him to unintentionally and naturally read the book some day accidentally, and he would be able to gain knowledge before he realizes that it’s wrong. And in this way he’ll be able to gain knowledge without doing deliberate sin. We would say that this Dua is not appropriate to be made, Because if something that Allah himself dislikes (the Haram of reading pirated book) and we ask Allah to help him in sin. So I was just wondering that since that person was required to fast for whole month obligatory. Will this Dua be like former example? Where he makes Dua about something that is disliked by Allah? Can it be said like since Allah wants us to fast for this whole month, asking Allah for a concession of missing it would be like asking Allah for something Allah dislikes?
Make an analogy between two people to understand what one should do. A close relative falls seriously ill. You have to take him or her to hospital. You should pray to God not to have this situation but once it has come you can’t avoid it. If you avoid or pray to avoid what your relative would think of you.
