The Impact of Frequently Seeking Du'a from the Righteous on the Perfection of Tawhid

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And likewise, may Allah preserve you, he asks: Is frequently seeking du'a from the people of righteousness a cause for the imperfection of tawhid?

Answer:
No, it is not. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to 'Umar
My younger brother, do not forget me in your supplication.لا تنسنا يا أخي من صالح دعائك
Sunan Abi Dawud 1498Da'if (Al-Albani)
When 'Umar intended to perform 'Umrah, he came to seek the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) permission, and he granted it, saying:
My younger brother, do not forget me in your supplication.لا تنسنا يا أخي من صالح دعائك
Sunan Abi Dawud 1498Da'if (Al-Albani)
It is not permissible to recommend one person to make du'a for you; there is no harm in that, but do not cling to this and refrain from du'a. Yes.
