Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on seeking intercession from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
During his lifetime, while he was alive, there is no issue, because seeking intercession from a living person means seeking his supplication; you ask him to make du'a' while he is alive, (peace and blessings be upon him). But after his death, nothing is sought from him, neither intercession nor anything else. Nothing is sought from the dead, neither the prophets nor anyone else. Whoever seeks anything from them while they are dead, this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), major shirk. Yes.
