Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it among the specific intercessions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he intercedes for his uncle Abu Talib?
Answer:
Yes, he intercedes for his uncle Abu Talib to have the punishment lightened for him, not to take him out of the Fire, but rather to have the punishment lightened for him. This is a specific intercession for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); no one intercedes for a disbeliever except the Messenger, to whom Allah granted permission to intercede for his uncle so that Allah would lighten the punishment for him. Yes.
