How to respond to those who say that a wali (close friend of Allah) can create fetuses in the wombs of their mothers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: There are some preachers in our country who say that a wali can create fetuses in the wombs of their mothers. In fact, there is a preacher whose fame has spread through the channels who says this. What is the correct statement, and how do we respond to these people?

Answer:
This is the same thing the polytheists said before. Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab did not say that anyone creates fetuses in the wombs other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)
And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah."وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ
[Az-Zukhruf 43:87]
? If you asked them, meaning the polytheists who worshipped idols, who created them, they would say that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) did. This increased their shirk (associating partners with Allah) over the shirk of the first polytheists. The one who says that the awliya (close friends of Allah) create fetuses in the wombs has increased his shirk over the shirk of Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab, may Allah protect us from that.
