Guidelines for Seeking Nearness to Allah Through the Righteous
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are there specific guidelines for seeking nearness to Allah through the righteous in these times?
Answer:
One does not seek nearness to Allah through the righteous except in his supplication. Seeking nearness to Allah through the righteous is one thing only, and that is seeking nearness through their supplication. It is not seeking nearness through their status, nor through their right, nor through their persons. All of this is a religious innovation (bid'ah) with no basis. The only thing is seeking nearness to Allah through their supplication, because you are asking Allah that they supplicate for you. Yes.
