The Ruling on Supplication: O Allah, Make the Angels Intercede for Me
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a person to make this supplication, "O Allah, make the angels intercede for me," or "intercede through the angels"?
Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with saying, "O Allah, intercede through Your Prophet. Intercede through Your angels. Intercede through the righteous among Your creation." One seeks intercession from Allah, not from the wali (close friend of Allah) himself, nor from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), but rather from Allah: "O Allah, intercede through Your Prophet. Intercede through so-and-so among the righteous," or one does not specify a name and says, "Intercede through the righteous among Your servants." Yes.
