Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And a person says, “I do not call upon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but I seek intercession through him with Allah when I converse with Him.”
Answer:
Ask Allah to make you pleased with him, and do not say, “Intercede for me, O Messenger of Allah,” while he is dead. You do not seek intercession from the Messenger while he is dead; rather, you seek intercession from the living. As for the dead, you do not seek intercession from him, nor anything else. And if you want to ask for intercession, say, “O Allah, grant intercession to Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).” Yes.
