Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the original ruling regarding such statements? Are they among the miracles (karamat) or are they among the conditions of the superstitious and the people of innovation? We hear people saying these days that so-and-so climbed Mount 'Arafah and said, “O Allah, praise is for You for the blessing of Islam,” and then the following year he climbed the mountain and heard a voice calling out that the angels have not stopped recording the good deeds of his statement from last year, and they have not ceased until now?
Answer:
These are devils. These are devils. Climbing Mount 'Arafah is not prescribed; it is an innovation. Climbing Mount 'Arafah for the sake of obedience and nearness is an innovation. And what is heard or what is said to him is from the devils to mislead him and harm him and harm others, because the original basis of climbing Mount 'Arafah is from among the innovations. Yes.
