Question:
What is the ruling on seeking intercession directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
It is not permissible to do this. You seek intercession from Allah. You say to Allah: “Intercession is entirely Yours.”[Al-Baqarah 2:255]? You seek intercession from Allah. You say: “O Allah, grant intercession to Your Prophet and Your righteous servants.” You seek it from Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Do not seek it from a created being. You only say, “Intercede for me with so-and-so” in matters of this world; there is nothing wrong with that, yes.
