The Ruling on Asking Allah for Intercession
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a person to ask Allah the Exalted to grant him success through intercession, without specifying that it be the intercession of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? And what is the criterion for asking Allah for intercession?
Answer:
Yes, he asks Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) to have His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intercede for him, and to have the righteous servants of Allah intercede for him. He asks Allah for this, and in this there is an admission of sin, no self-praise, and an acknowledgment that he is in need of the intercession of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and the intercession of the righteous. Yes.
