The ruling on the claim of seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while awake
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Seeing the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and whoever claims that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while awake in this world?
The Shaykh:
He is only seen in sleep, as the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did; as for after his death, he is not seen except in sleep.
The questioner:
And the distribution of benefits.
The Shaykh:
It is all false, invalid, and a deception imposed upon them. Yes. Yes. Yes. When the sun rises to its standing position, this is the time for the midday prayer, from the rising of the sun to its standing. Yes.
