Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. It has become common on the tongues of some people to say “Intercession, O Muhammad,” and this is said in moments of surprise. Is this a type of major shirk (associating partners with Allah) or minor shirk?
Answer:
It is a form of supplication to the dead, and it is not permissible. That is, he is asking you for intercession, asking the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for it after his death. This is not permissible. Yes.
