Seeking Blessing from the Minbar of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: I heard in your explanation of the book *Iqtida' al-Sirat al-Mustaqim* that if the minbar of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were still present, it would be permissible to seek blessing from it.
Answer:
Because it touched the body of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him); it touched the body of the Messenger and he sat on it. It falls under seeking blessing from what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) touched and sat on. However, it is no longer present. Praise be to Allah that it is no longer present. It was found, and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) occurred. Yes.
