Question:
Is it permissible to seek blessing from the traces of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them)?
Answer:
It is not permissible to seek blessing from traces. It is not permissible. One follows the Companions. If you want to benefit, you follow them in their actions, you love them, you follow them, and you learn their way. But if you seek blessing from their earthly and clay traces, saying "this is so-and-so's dwelling" or "so-and-so stayed here," that is not permissible. Following traces leads to shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
