The ruling on asking a righteous man to make du'a' (supplication) for one when traveling for 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage)

Question:
Finally, he says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a Muslim to ask a pious man or a shaykh to make supplication for him when he travels to Makkah or al-Madinah?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) intended to perform 'Umrah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: . Yes. May Allah reward you with the best reward for us and for the Muslims, and may He bless you and your knowledge, and make Islam and the Muslims benefit from you. This session, which was recorded with His Eminence Shaykh Salih ibn Farijan al-Farijan, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars and a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta, has ended. May Allah be grateful to his Eminence.
