Making dua in a language other than Arabic during sujud

Answer

If one has memorized du'as from the Quran or Sunnah in Arabic, one may say them for as long as desired in salah; if not, one should not say du'as from oneself in English within the prayer -- there is no independent sujud outside the prayer other than the Prostrations of Recitation and Gratitude, so du'a in any language belongs outside the salah, hands raised, for as long as one wants. According to the overwhelming majority of jurists, non-Arabic dua within sujud during the prayer is not the agreed-upon position, though permissible according to a minority under certain conditions; it is better to follow what is agreed upon. On the specific Hanbali position: this is a view held in the Hanbali School and one view in the Maliki School, provided the meaning is understood and nothing problematic is said -- verify details with a qualified Hanbali teacher, as none are known to be present in Guyana; the position as recalled is limited to translating transmitted du'as for those who tried but couldn't learn them in Arabic. Outside the prayer, du'a in one's own language is agreed to be valid and encouraged without dispute.
