Does a wali (close friend of Allah) have karamat (miracles granted to a righteous person) indicating that he is among the awliya (close friends of Allah), and is it permissible to explicitly mention these karamat?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Does a wali have karamat indicating that he is among the awliya? And is it permissible to explicitly mention these karamat?

Answer:
It is not obligatory that a wali have karamat; they may exist or they may not. There are among the special ones of the awliya who do not have karamat. Karamat sometimes come for a need of the Muslims or for a proof in the religion, either for a need of the Muslims or for a proof in the religion only when there is a need. It is not the case that every wali has karamat appearing through his hands; this is not obligatory. It is not permissible for one upon whom something appears to inform people of it, to boast about it, or to be proud of himself. Yes, rather, it should increase his humility. Karamat should increase his humility and gratitude to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
