Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: A person who appears on satellite television channels issued a ruling that seeking nearness to Allah through a means (tawassul), calling for aid (istighathah), and seeking help from the deceased awliya (close friends of Allah) and righteous people is permissible, and in fact, there is great reward in it. His question is: Does this appear
Answer:
from them, the grave worshippers, who permit these matters? This is from them. Do not be surprised that one of the preachers of grave worship appears on the channel. Do not be surprised by this. It is not a person who is a scholar, who fears Allah and is mindful of Him, who says this.
