The Ruling on Seeking Allah's Help Through the Status of the Righteous
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abdullah from al-Qasim says: What is the ruling on asking Allah by the status of the righteous?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is among the prohibited types of seeking nearness (tawassul). You do not say, “I ask You by the status of the Messenger” or “by the status of so-and-so scholar.” This is not permissible because it is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah), and also because it has no basis in the texts. Yes.
