The answers on Hawramani.com are based on the research of Ikram Hawramani in the Quran, hadith, scholarly works and respected fatwa sources. You can view Ikram Hawramani's credentials on the about page. Please note that we do not issue fatwas, we only compile the opinions of respected scholars (even when a fatwa is not explicitly cited) to make their opinions accessible to English-speaking Muslims. If an answer does not cite fatwas, please feel free to leave a comment asking for a fatwa citation and we will update the answer as soon as possible to include fatwas.

IslamQA: Do you need wudu’ to make du’a or dhikr?

Do i need to do wudu before making duas same as i do before salat? if i don't, will my dua be accepted?

There is no need to make wudu before dua or dhikr. You can do these at all times, including times when one cannot perform salah.

Assalamu alaikum. I would like to know the origin of all zikr. E.g. Nabi Ibrahim a.s recites Hasbi Allah wa nikmal wakil , when the people wanted to burn him.
So that I can tell this to my grandchildren..
Jazakallah khair.

Wassalam
