The sixth question of Fatwa No. ( 7267 ):
Q6: What is the ruling of Allah regarding one who calls for aid from the awliya (close friends of Allah) when a calamity befalls him?
A6: One who calls for aid from the awliya (close friends of Allah) after their death or while they are absent from him is one who associates partners with Allah (shirk) with major shirk; because of the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Yunus 10:106-107] . And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
Q6: What is the ruling of Allah regarding one who calls for aid from the awliya (close friends of Allah) when a calamity befalls him?
A6: One who calls for aid from the awliya (close friends of Allah) after their death or while they are absent from him is one who associates partners with Allah (shirk) with major shirk; because of the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(106) And do not invoke besides Allah that which neither benefits you nor harms you, for if you did, then indeed you would be of the wrongdoers.'" (107) And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
وَلاَ تَدْعُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لاَ يَنْفَعُكَ وَلاَ يَضُرُّكَ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ (106) وَإِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلا هُوَ وَإِنْ يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
