Is it permissible to supplicate for weight gain?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to supplicating for weight gain, as it is permissible for a Muslim to ask Allah for every need. It was narrated from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that she said: "Ask Allah for everything, even the shoelace." The supplication should be accompanied by taking the means that help in weight gain, such as eating cucumbers with fresh dates. It is better to supplicate for health and well-being, as it is better than mere weight gain.
