Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: A man has appeared on the channels saying that whatever is valid as a miracle for a Prophet is valid as a karamah (a miracle granted to a righteous person) for a wali (close friend of Allah), and that Shaykh al-Islam erred in denying this. We ask for clarification.
Answer:
Miracles do not occur for anyone other than the Prophets. Today, there is much boldness and contempt for the scholars. This is common today; these are signs of misguidance and signs of fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and there is no power or strength except with Allah. Yes, the ignorant ones are now criticizing Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and criticizing the Imams.
