Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on saying, “O Messenger of Allah, call upon Allah to forgive me”? The author (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned three rulings for this phrase in his book *Tawassul wa al-Wasilah*. Once he said it is shirk (associating partners with Allah), once he said it is a means to shirk, and at the end of the book he said it is bid'ah (religious innovation). What is the correct position in this matter?
Answer:
We would like you to gather the Shaykh’s words on this for us so we can see them. You claimed that the Shaykh mentioned this in this book. We did not pay attention to it, so you gather it, check it, and present it, and it will be read in the next lesson, if Allah wills. Yes.
