Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference in the ruling between one who calls upon the dead to intercede for him with Allah, and one who calls upon them for their effect in the universe?
Answer:
What they believe is that they have an effect in the universe; rather, they call upon them to intercede for them with Allah. They say: because they are righteous, because they are righteous men, and we are sinners, or that they intercede for us with Allah. That is their intention, and they do not believe that they have an effect in the universe? Yes.
