Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is calling for aid from a present creature, while knowing that it is not capable of saving him, considered major shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
Answer:
No, this is calling for aid to have someone pull him out of the drowning and the danger. This is not shirk; this is helping the one in need or helping the one in dire necessity.
