The ruling on seeking aid through the face of a created being
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if the Shaykh is one of those who says regarding a person or a drink that one should seek aid through them regarding another matter.
Answer:
It is not permissible. You say, "By your face." This is not permissible, because this means seeking refuge in a created being. That is, you say, "By your face." If you say, "By the face of Allah, then by your face," there is no harm. But if you say, "By your face," or "I entered through you," or "I ask for your intercession," this is not permissible. "A guest of Allah, then a guest of yours" is fine. "The face of Allah, then your face" is fine. But making the created being the primary basis for seeking refuge and turning to is not permissible. The believer turns to Allah, seeks help from Allah, and asks the created being for what he is capable of, after turning to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) and holding fast to Him. Because asking the created being for what he is capable of is part of taking the means, part of taking the means that are commanded. Yes.
