The ruling on the statement that visiting the righteous brings blessing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And so on, Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man is among the righteous, is it said to him, "If you visit us in our home, blessing visits us," meaning the one who brings good visits us? And is the answer to this derived from the saying of Allah the Exalted: "And He made me blessed wherever I am"?
Answer:
This refers to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). As for others, other than the prophets, we do not assert that they are blessed, but we hope for them good. However, we do not seek blessing from them, and we do not say that a portion of blessing has visited. To say this is a means to exaggeration and to believing that this person is one from whom one seeks refuge. We do not use expressions that necessitate this. Yes.
