Your Eminence, father, the questioner says: Some tribes say, “Let us seek blessing from the dead.”

Let us leave it.

We seek blessing.

We seek blessing.

Yes.
The Shaykh:
One does not seek blessing from a created being, whether living or dead; one does not seek blessing from it. Rather, one seeks blessing from the names and attributes of Allah. As for a created being, one does not seek blessing from it. Yes.
