Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is meant by seeking nearness to Allah through the person of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Seeking nearness to Allah through the person of the Prophet or anyone else is swearing by Allah and taking an oath by Allah. It is not permissible to swear by Allah by a created being, whether a prophet or anyone else. It is as if you have not understood until now, yes.
