Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Are there any miracles of the awliya (close friends of Allah) such as reviving the dead?
The Shaykh : This is among the signs of the Prophets, and not all Prophets had this either. In fact, we do not know that Allah revived the dead as a general rule except for 'Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him). As for the miracles of the awliya, it may be a specific case, for example, a person's mount dies, so he supplicates to Allah to revive it so that it can carry him to his destination, or something similar. This is reported from some of the Tabi'un (the generation after the Companions) that something like this happened to them. But as a general rule, no.
Yes
The questioner : May Allah bless you, O Shaykh. A man married a divorced woman.
The Shaykh : Be careful that there is no deception or trickery in this. A person comes from those who claim to be awliya (close friends of Allah) and says, "I revive the dead." How? He gives a sheep an anesthetic injection. Yes. And when the sheep is anesthetized or the effect of the anesthetic is about to wear off, he says, "O sheep, be revived by the permission of Allah." And when the anesthetic ends, it moves. Because there are liars among these people who may do something like this. Yes.
