Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, if seeking blessing (tabarruk) is an act of worship and is not directed to anyone but Allah, why did people seek blessing from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during his lifetime?
Answer:
Because evidence has come regarding this, and Allah made him a source of blessing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved his Companions seeking blessing through his ablution water, and he would divide his hair into portions to distribute among them. This is a specific matter established by evidence. Yes, and we follow the evidence. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
