Question:
May Allah grant you success. A man said in his prison: O Allah, I ask You by the faith of my mother to release me from this prison.
Answer:
By the faith of his mother. Yes. Do you know that it is not permissible for a person to ask Allah by the deeds of another? One does not ask Allah by the deeds of another or by the righteousness of another. Rather, one asks Allah by one’s own righteousness and by one’s own deeds, seeking nearness to Him through one’s own deeds, not through the deeds of others, because one has no effort in them and no share in them. Yes.
