Allah the Exalted said in [garbled text] regarding [garbled text] the Exalted:[Taha 20:109]. Is this permission legislative or cosmic? And their homes are better for them. This permission
The Shaykh:
is legislative. From the One who [garbled text] for him. The Most Merciful. Yes,[Taha 20:109].
The questioner:
Does He not prevent it?
The Shaykh:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) grants permission to the intercessor to intercede and is pleased with the one for whom intercession is sought. Good. That the one for whom intercession is sought be from the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). Peace and blessings be upon him. That he not be from the polytheists or the disbelievers, because the intercession of the intercessors does not benefit the disbelievers. Intercession has two conditions and nothing else. The first condition is Allah’s permission for the intercessor to intercede. [garbled text]. The second. Allah’s pleasure with the one for whom intercession is sought. [garbled text]. That he be from the people of faith and the people of tawhid (the oneness of Allah).

That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.
