What is the ruling on asking others for supplication?

Question : May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on asking others to make du'a (supplication) for you?

Answer : In any case, asking others to make du'a' (supplication) is a trial that many people are facing now. You find some people that whenever they meet a man in whom they see righteousness, they say, "Make du'a' to Allah for me; I am asking you for your du'a'," and the like. And yet, the Muslim reads or hears the words of Allah the Exalted: What is it? And your du'a' to your Lord is better than asking someone else to make du'a' for you, because du'a' itself is worship, and the one making du'a' displays his need for his Lord, and his heart becomes attached to his Lord. But if he asks a person, perhaps his heart becomes attached to that person and he relies on that person's du'a', and he does not get the worship, which is making du'a' to his Lord with his own self. Therefore, I advise my brothers to make du'a' to Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, with their own selves, for themselves. If someone were to say, "Did not the man, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'I saw' , say, 'Make du'a' to Allah to make me one of them,' and the Prophet said, 'You are one of them,' so ."
The answer is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not like others. His intercession is accepted. And if the Messenger is asked, that does not necessitate that we ask other than the Messenger.
As for what was mentioned that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do not forget me, my brother, in your du'a," there is no authenticity to it. It has not been authenticated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the hadith, so it is not a proof. However, even so, if one asks a man whose response is expected to make du'a for him, there is no blame on him, except that it is better for a person to attach himself to his Lord with his own self and not ask anyone. Yes.
