Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the exception in His saying, the Exalted,[Az-Zumar 39:3] connected or disconnected? And what is the difference between them?
Answer:
It is connected. We do not worship them with any of the things except to bring us near to Allah. We do not worship them because they create, provide, or manage, but we want them to intercede for us with Allah only. Yes.
