Question:
The questioner says: A Sufi told me that our shaykhs, or our shaykhs by the permission of Allah, can perform miracles such as flying and turning a Wahhabi into a stone, and that all of this is by the permission of Allah. He asks: How do we respond to him?
Answer:
This is what the one who says this is doing: this is sorcery. He follows the sorcerers who invert the facts. This is the act of sorcerers, and it has the reality of sorcery. It is illusory sorcery. It makes things appear as if they are in a state other than their actual state. This is illusory sorcery, the act of sorcerers, and a lie. Their awliya (close friends of Allah) cannot do this. Some of them even say that our awliya have a status that no angel brought near and no messenger sent has reached. Some of them say that the awliya create fetuses in the wombs. This is the greatest shirk (associating partners with Allah), and I seek refuge in Allah from it. Yes.
