May One Make Dua In Other Languages In The Khutbah?

May one make dua in other languages in the khutbah?

It is not a must to make dua in a certain language. Because dua means to turn to Allah, beg Him and ask from Him (swt). Therefore, it is permissible for people to make dua in their mother tongue to be aware of what they are asking. However, it is more appropriate to make the duas that take place in the Holy Qur’an or taught by Prophet Muhammad (saw) in their original forms as much as possible. For this reason, one should exert effort to make khutbah duas in their original forms . However, it is also permissible to make dua in a language that is understood by the congregation at the end of the second khutbah.
