The fourth question of Fatwa No. ( 8817 ):
Q4: What is the ruling on one who says: "By the blessing of the Prophet," or "by the blessing of the Shaykh," or "by the blessing of the Qur'an"? Is he one who associates partners with Allah or not?
First: Seeking nearness to Allah through the blessing of the Qur'an is prescribed and is not shirk (associating partners with Allah). Second: Seeking nearness through the blessing of some of the created beings, such as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is a condemned religious innovation; because seeking nearness is an act of worship based on divine legislation, and nothing has been established in the pure Shari'ah indicating its permissibility regarding created beings or their right.
or their rank, or their blessing, and it is authentically narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said:Sahih Muslim 1718b . And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
