If you give in charity for Allah’s sake then don’t ask them to do duʿā for you. Allah said, “˹saying to themselves,˺: ‘We feed you only for the sake of Allah, seeking neither reward nor thanks from you.’” [76:9]
The Shaikh of Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said, “So whoever asks the poor to supplicate for them or praise them has left this āyah.”
