The statement on intercession: "O Messenger of Allah" when visiting his grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, when they visit the grave of the Messenger, say, “Intercession, O Messenger of Allah.” Do these phrases affect the creed?
Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible. Nothing is sought from the Messenger after his death (peace and blessings be upon him); no intercession is sought from him, no supplication is sought from him, and no need is sought from him. This is among the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah), so this action is not permissible. It is obligatory to clarify this to the people and to teach them the correct creed, as well as the bid'ah (religious innovations) and newly invented matters that affect it. Yes.
