The Ruling on Seeking Blessing from People
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Whether one is with a Muslim or not, or whether there is more of something.
Answer:
This is not permissible. If you want a blessing, it is not permissible [to seek it from people]; the blessing is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). But he may make a supplication for the visitor, and that is sufficient. As for exaggerating in this manner, saying "we have deviated from the blessing" or "we seek blessing from you," or... Yes.
