Seeking aid from the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the dead: What is the ruling?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Does seeking aid from the dead on the pretext that they are awliya (close friends of Allah) affect the Hajj?
The Shaykh : Yes, it does. The one who seeks aid from the dead is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), may Allah protect us from that.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Because one does not seek aid from the dead; one only seeks aid from Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
The questioner : (Glorified and Exalted is He), Exalted is His status.
The Shaykh : You know, right? No? Yes, okay.
