The Ruling on Seeking Supplication from a Wali and Rubbing Oneself Against Him
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah bless you. What is the ruling on asking for supplication from what is called a wali (close friend of Allah), or on rubbing oneself against him? Is this permissible, or does it undermine the creed?
Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible. One must not rub oneself against people, nor seek blessing from people, graves, or anything people take as a source of blessing. Blessing is found in obeying Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), in His remembrance, and in what Allah has made blessed, such as the prophets and messengers and the Ancient House. Yes.
