Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We have come to know or understand from the lesson that the types of prescribed tawassul (seeking nearness to Allah through a means) are: first, tawassul (seeking nearness to Allah through a means) by the names and attributes of Allah; second, tawassul (seeking nearness to Allah through a means) to Allah by righteous deeds; and third, tawassul (seeking nearness to Allah through a means) by the supplication of the righteous who are present. Are these the only types?

Answer:
No, there is tawassul (seeking nearness to Allah through a means) by tawhid (the oneness of Allah).
There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."لَّا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
[Al-Anbya 21:87]
This is tawassul (seeking nearness to Allah through a means) by tawhid (the oneness of Allah), the word of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Yes.
