The ruling on seeking intercession from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after his death

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who seeks intercession from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after his death?

Answer:
Nothing is sought from the dead, neither intercession nor anything else. Nothing is sought from the dead, not from the Prophet nor from anyone else. The Companions used to come to the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him for supplication, ask him for intercession, and ask him for seeking forgiveness, and they were the most knowledgeable of the community about what is permissible and what is prohibited, because they were the students of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). If they had known from the Messenger that this was permissible, they would have done it. The fact that they left it off indicates that they knew from the Messenger that it is not permissible and is not done. Yes.
