Seeking Nearness to Allah Through the Status of the Prophet in Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This student is studying at the university. Muhammad Sadiq says: Is it permissible, when asking Allah the Exalted, to say, “By the status of your Prophet, grant me success in my academic exams”?
Answer:
This is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Asking by status, or by the person’s own self, is a bid'ah and forbidden; because there is no evidence for this, neither from the Book nor from the Sunnah. So you ask Allah directly, without the status of anyone. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
