Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks, saying: May Allah reward you. What is the response to those who cite the hadith of intercession as proof for the permissibility of seeking intercession from a created being to intercede on their behalf with Allah?

Answer:
Yes. You seek intercession from a living, present created being, because they seek it from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), who is alive and present on the Day of Resurrection. As for seeking intercession from one who is absent or from one who is dead, that is not permissible. Yes.
