The Conditions of Intercession in the Statement of Allah the Exalted: Intercession Does Not Benefit
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Taha 20:109] Does that mean that the two conditions must be present together in the one who intercedes, namely that he is the Merciful and that He is pleased with his saying?
Answer:
As you heard, Allah gave permission to the intercessor to intercede, and Allah was pleased with the one for whom intercession is sought by making him one of the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and not one of the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah). So, intercession is not accepted for a mushrik. Yes.
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:
That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.
يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ الشَّفَاعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَٰنُ وَرَضِيَ لَهُ قَوْلًاAnswer:
