Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is the statement that the awliya have karamah like what the prophets have, even to the extent of reviving the dead, valid?
Answer:
They have mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle), which no one can do except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and Allah has specifically granted this to the prophets. As for the awliya, they do not have mu'jizah; rather, they only have karamah, not mu'jizah. Yes.
