Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is asking the people of good, is asking them for supplication, something that diminishes tawhid (the oneness of Allah), given what has been reported that 'Ikamah asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to supplicate for him?
Answer:
It does not diminish tawhid if you ask them for supplication; because supplication is tawhid. If you ask them for tawhid, [it is] supplication to Allah, which is tawhid.
