Question:
Is it permissible to ask a scholar who is a monotheist in this world, saying to him: If Allah grants you intercession in the Hereafter, then intercede for me with Allah? Is this permissible?
Answer:
I am not aware of any basis for this. They advise regarding the Hereafter, saying: In the Hereafter, make a supplication for us. Why would you postpone asking him to make a supplication for you? As long as he is a righteous man and you are in need of supplication, let him make a supplication for you now. Yes.
