Seeking Nearness to Allah Through the Status of the Prophet in Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
End.
The questioner:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on saying, “O Allah, I ask You by the status of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?”
The Shaykh:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation) and is not permissible. It is not permissible to ask by status, nor by the right of so-and-so, nor is this permissible. One should say, “O Allah, I ask You,” asking Allah directly without taking a status as an intermediary between you and Allah. This is an innovation in supplication.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.
End.
