Is it necessary to recite Salawat when making Dua during Sujud in Salah for it to be accepted?
Amina Inloes

It is good etiquette to begin and end a du'a with salawat and inshallah it may assist with your du'a being answered. However, du'as are also answered without salawat (Allah is not miserly!), and you can say your du'a with or without salawat. 
Is it permissible to pray or engage in Dua, Dhikr, and Istighfar while wearing stolen clothes or clothes purchased with stolen money?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not permissible to wear or use any stolen cloth in any time and any situation. Wearing stolen cloth is not only a sinful act but also invalidates the Prayer.

How can I overcome the struggle of Waswas and OCD while making Dua, as I sometimes unintentionally say things I don't want to happen or add "Insha Allah" to something undesired?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

First step in tackling Waswas and OCD is to know its origin which is Shaitan who wants to harm us in every way. We need to be aware and very careful against Shaitan and Satanic thiuts. We need to repeat Isteghfaar and Salawaat and La Hawla Wala Qowwata Illa Billah. Repeating Laa Ilaha Illallah is also very useful in tackling Satanic thoughts.

Wassalam.
