The ruling on asking by the status and the blessing of a person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: There are phrases that some people repeat, “O Allah, by the status of so-and-so with You, and by the blessing of so-and-so.”
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and it is not permissible to ask by status, by right, or by a person. One only asks Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) by His names and attributes, or one asks the righteous person who is present with you to supplicate to Allah for you. As for the one who is absent and the one who is dead, nothing is asked of them, neither supplication nor anything else. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
