Making dua after salaah

Question

Is it sunnat to make dua after fardh salaat and a hadith supporting it if it's true. Many of my friends tell me that's an Indian innovation and not a sunnat of Nabi (sallallahu alaihi wasallam). Please advise.

Answer

It is sunnah to make dua after the fardh salaah, and it is mentioned in the hadith that this is a time when duas are accepted.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
