The Ruling on Asking Others to Make Du'a and Asking by the Face of Allah

The questioner:
This honorable shaykh sent a request, and he says: My brother, I ask you by the Face of Allah to ask Shaykh Salih to make du'a for my mother's recovery, and for the brothers to be safe. So, what is his request, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
It is permissible in principle, but as you know, it is better and more excellent for a person to make du'a himself. However, since it is permissible, we ask Allah for his recovery and well-being, and for all the sick among the Muslims.

The questioner:
Asking by the Face of Allah, O Shaykh?

The Shaykh:
One does not ask by the Face of Allah except for Paradise. It is not permissible to ask by the Face of Allah except for Paradise, as stated in the hadith. Yes.
