Question:
He says: Is there a criterion for the permissibility of seeking nearness to Allah through the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after his death in supplications?
Answer:
Seeking nearness to Allah is done by following him and loving him (peace and blessings be upon him), because this is a righteous deed; following him is a righteous deed, and loving him is a righteous deed by which one seeks nearness to Allah. As for the person of the Messenger, it is not permissible to seek nearness to Allah through him, nor through his status.
