The ruling on asking other than Allah for needs and in supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is Muhammad Mustafa Sudani, a resident of the Kingdom, who says: Is it permissible to ask, or is asking other than Allah for needs and in supplication permissible?
Answer:
Asking people for things they are able to do, such as giving money and the like, is not a problem.[Al-Ma'idah 5:2] As for asking people for something that only Allah is able to provide, that is not permissible, and it is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah the Exalted and Majestic, whether they are alive or dead. It is not permissible to ask the dead, because they are unable to answer you, nor is it permissible to ask the living who are unable to provide what you are asking of them, nor is it permissible to ask those who are absent. The asking is only for the one who is present, the living person who is present and is able to give you what you are asking. Yes.
