The Conditions of Intercession on the Day of Resurrection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. An Egyptian resident in Riyadh says: I hope the Shaykh will speak about intercession, and whether it is exclusive to the prophets and the righteous, or is it general?
Answer:
Intercession is a reality, but it is subject to two conditions. The first condition is that it must be by the permission of Allah; they do not intercede[Al-Baqarah 2:255]. The second condition is that the one for whom intercession is sought must be someone of whom Allah is pleased with his words and his deeds, namely a Muslim who deserved to enter the Fire because of a sin or sins he committed. In that case, intercession benefits him by the permission of Allah. As for the disbeliever, the intercession of those who intercede does not benefit him, as He the Exalted and Majestic said: [Al-Muddaththir 74:48] He the Exalted and Majestic said: [Al-Anbya 21:28] And He is not pleased with the disbelievers and those who associate partners with Allah. Yes.

Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission?
مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِSo there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَand they cannot intercede except on behalf of one whom He approves
وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضَىٰ
