Dealing with those who seek blessing from graves and scholars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from outside this country. He says: In our country, there are many shrines—shrines for seeking blessing from scholars and graves. His question is: How should one deal with those who seek blessing from graves and scholars?
Answer:
Call people to Allah. Explain things to them, for most of them are ignorant and do not know. Explain to them and call them to Allah the Exalted. Explain to them the correct creed, so that perhaps Allah will guide them, or guide whom He wills from among them. This is what is obligatory upon you: calling to Allah.
