Conditions for the Acceptance of Intercession
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some mention that the conditions for intercession are two: first, permission for the intercessor, and second, satisfaction with both the intercessor and the one for whom intercession is sought. Is this statement correct regarding the condition of satisfaction?
Answer:
I told you not to bring in things from your own minds. The scholars have dealt with this long ago and took it from the Qur'an: intercession has two conditions—Allah's permission for the intercessor to intercede, and His satisfaction with the one for whom intercession is sought. This is taken from the Qur'an. It is not for one of us to be a know-it-all and to alter, change, or add to it. We do not approve of this, nor do we accept it. Yes.
