Answered by Shaykh Yūsuf Badāt
Question:
Can you please advise on a duʿā (supplication or prayer) to conceive a child and get pregnant. We as a married couple have been childless for many years and have prayed a lot, for Allāh to bless us with a child.
Answer:
Jazāk Allāh Khayr/ Thank you for your question. May Allāh bless you with pious children, happiness, prosperity and success.
