Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: Some of those who come to the shrines say, "When we come to the shrine, the supplication is answered." He asks: How do we respond to this doubt?
Answer:
This is a lure, and may Allah protect us from it. This is a lure; it is not permissible to cite this as evidence. The fact that the desired outcome is achieved is not proof of permissibility. The achievement of the desired outcome may be a lure from Allah, and it is not proof of the permissibility of this matter. Yes.
