The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner says: If someone says that seeking intercession from the dead is not shirk (associating partners with Allah), is this the position of the people of the Sunnah?
The Shaykh:
This is the statement of the people of falsehood. Yes, whoever says it.
The questioner:
If someone says that seeking intercession from the dead is not shirk, is this the position of the people of the Sunnah?
The Shaykh:
It is a false statement. It is not permissible to seek anything from the dead, neither intercession nor anything else. Intercession is sought from Allah only. One says, “O Allah, grant me intercession through Your Messenger, and grant me intercession through Your righteous servants.” Intercession is sought from Allah, not from the created. Yes.
