Is it permissible to seek blessing from the garments of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is it permissible to seek blessing from the garments of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The Shaykh:
What?

The questioner:
Is it permissible to seek blessing from the garments of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The Shaykh:
Garments? Yes. Where are the garments of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? It is permissible to seek blessing from what separated from his body (peace and blessings be upon him), such as a garment, hair, sweat, or semen. But this ended with his death (peace and blessings be upon him), and nothing of it remains.
Yes, and this is specific to him as well. One does not seek blessing from the clothes of the righteous or their relics; this is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We refer to what separated from his body (peace and blessings be upon him), and this did not remain after his death. There are those who lie and say, "This is the shirt of the Messenger, this is such-and-such," in order to consume the wealth of people unlawfully. They place it in a room with glass on it and say, "Come, look at the hair of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), look at his shirt." This is lying, and they want to consume the wealth of people unlawfully, or they want to revive shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
