Is it permissible to make supplication by the right of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or by his love?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. A questioner asks: Is it permissible for a Muslim, when making supplication, to say: “O Allah, by the right of the Messenger of Allah” or “by his love”?
The Shaykh : Or by what?
The questioner : Or by his love?
The Shaykh : Yes, seeking nearness to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through supplication, or during supplication, is only permissible in what is authentically established as a means, because a means is everything by which a person achieves his objective. Accordingly, the means must be either religiously legislated or natural. We will complete this, if Allah wills, after the prayer.
