Asking the righteous for supplication to be among the seventy thousand
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it prescribed that I ask one of the righteous to supplicate for me to be among the seventy thousand?
Answer:
I do not know; I do not know about this matter. He may supplicate for your success, or for your healing; there is no harm in asking, just as 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked al-'Abbas to seek rain, to call upon Allah for rain for the Muslims. Is it permissible to ask for supplication? Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
