The ruling on the statement: “Whatever is permissible to be a prophetic miracle is permissible to be a miracle granted to a close friend of Allah, even the resurrection of the dead”

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: Some people have said, “Whatever is permissible to be a prophetic miracle is permissible to be a miracle granted to a close friend of Allah, even the resurrection of the dead.” Is attributing this to the Salaf (the earliest generations) correct?

Answer:
The resurrection of the dead is invalid. No one among the awliya (close friends of Allah) resurrects the dead. This is a mu'jizah (a prophetic miracle) specific to 'Isa (peace be upon him), a mu'jizah specific to 'Isa (peace and blessings be upon him), and it does not occur for anyone else. As for the karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) of the awliya, they are mu'jizat (prophetic miracles) for the prophets, because they did not attain these karamat except by following the prophets. Yes.
