Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: You mentioned that the state of intimacy (khalah) does not extend to more than one person, so how is it that Allah took Ibrahim and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon them both) as intimate friends?
Answer:
This is from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). As for the created being, one does not take an intimate friend alongside Allah. As for Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), He is not judged by this restriction or prevented from it.
