The
"prayer of need" and "prayer for memorising the Qur.aan"
Question:
I have heard about the "prayer of need" (Salaat al-Haajah)
and the "prayer for memorising the Qur.aan". Are these actual
prayers or not?
Response:
Both of them are not correct. There is no such thing as "prayer
of need" or "prayer for memorising the Qur.aan." This is because
these kinds of acts of worship can only be confirmed through
legal evidences. Neither of these have any evidences for them
that can be considered proofs and acceptable in Islaamic Law.
Therefore, they are not sanctioned by Islaamic law.
