Can the miracles of the prophets be repeated through the hands of the awliya (close friends of Allah)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the reconciliation between what some scholars mention—that the Prophet’s miracle does not repeat, such as the mention of the healing of the leper, which is stated to be impossible because it was a miracle for 'Isa—and the miracle of Ibrahim and what happened to Abu Muslim al-Khawlani, which was repeated?

Answer:
This may occur. It may happen that a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) resembling the Prophet’s miracle occurs through the hand of a wali (close friend of Allah), but he is not a prophet; rather, he is a wali who attained it by following that prophet. Yes.
