The Ruling on Looking at the Faces of the Righteous
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We have heard some scholars say that looking at the faces of the righteous and the awliya (close friends of Allah) increases faith. What is the validity of that, please?
Answer:
I do not know of looking at their faces increasing faith. What increases faith is emulating them, looking at their good deeds, and following their example. Looking at their faces is a simple matter. Yes.
