Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some people, when they lose their way or lose something, call out, "O servants of Allah, stop!" They claim that this is established from some of the Companions, such as Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). Is what he mentioned correct?
Answer:
No, it is not correct, and one does not call out to the absent. One only calls out to the living person who is present with you and is able to help you. As for the absent one or the dead one, one does not call out to them. Yes.
