The Conditions of Intercession
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. He says: Shaykh, I read about intercession: for whom is it, and what are its categories? Please tell us about it, may you be rewarded.
Answer:
By Allah, this is a long topic that cannot be fully covered here, but intercession, if it is in accordance with the Shari'ah, is intercession with Allah. It is not accepted except with two conditions: that Allah grants permission to the intercessor to intercede, and that the one for whom intercession is sought is among the believers, the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), but he has committed a sin for which he deserves punishment, so intercession is made for him with Allah, if Allah grants him permission for that. Yes.
