Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is it permissible for the supplicant to say in his du'a' (supplication), “O Allah, make Shaykh So-and-So an intercessor for me on the Day of Resurrection”?
Answer:
He says: One does not specify a particular person except the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for anyone else, one says, “O Allah, grant intercession to the believers and the righteous among Your servants,” without intending a specific person.
