Is seeking blessing from the saliva of a person other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

The questioner : Please. Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.

The questioner : Shaykh Muhammad, may Allah preserve you, I heard a fatwa from you, may Allah preserve you, that whoever seeks blessing from the saliva of a person other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the past, that whoever seeks blessing from a person’s saliva is committing shirk.

The Shaykh : A type of shirk.

The questioner : A type of shirk.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed, and it is not major shirk, because seeking blessing from the person himself is only in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. There is a woman in our town. If a person has an allergy, yes, if there is a woman in the town, yes, if a person has an allergy in his body, she spits on him, or she brings him her saliva every morning for three days, and her saliva has a blessing, Shaykh. So I do not know what to do?

The Shaykh : This is wrong. It is not permissible to seek blessing from a person of purity.

The questioner : Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Except with recitation.

The questioner : The one who does not recite, may Allah preserve you, but it benefits us.

The Shaykh : It is not appropriate. It is not appropriate.

The questioner : It is not appropriate.
