The Ruling on Seeking the Help of an Absent Person

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I seek Allah's forgiveness. What is the ruling on seeking the help of an absent person in something that a created being is capable of doing?

Answer:
It is not permissible to seek the help of an absent person, because the absent person does not hear you. It is not permissible to seek his help, whether he is dead or alive. It is not permissible except if they gather in the mosque to repeat it.
