Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: What is the difference between asking by Allah and seeking intercession through Allah?
Answer:
Asking by Allah is an oath you take upon the one you are asking, saying, "I ask you by Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever asks you by Allah, give to him." So you are swearing by Allah upon the created being. There is no harm in that. The harm lies in swearing by the created being upon the Creator. Yes.
