Seeking Blessing from People and Asking for Blessing from Other Than Allah

Question:
And there is nothing that one should never look at except those whom Allah has shown mercy to. From the permissibility of seeking blessing from the call to prayer of the noisy ones came the qualification of Shaykh al-Sharqi, did he? That we mention him with the news of the market inspectors, from the marriage of one who sought blessing from the manners of the righteous, a riddle or a verse of Shaykh al-Sharqi, and is there anyone who made this reader his entire [reference]?

Answer:
Yes, it undermines tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and it may contradict tawhid. Seeking blessing, asking for blessing, and blessing is not sought from anyone but Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). What led the polytheists to worship idols, stones, and trees was nothing but seeking blessing from them and asking for blessing from them. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and it is not permissible. If anyone says otherwise, it is an error. If a scholar of knowledge says it, it is an error that is refuted.
