The Ruling on Exalting the Awliya in Oaths and Fearing Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people, if asked to swear by Allah, they swear, but if asked to swear by a certain wali or a certain master, they are afraid?
Answer:
It varies. There is no doubt that their hearts are sick with shirk (associating partners with Allah); we ask Allah for safety. For this reason, they exalt their awliya (close friends of Allah) more than they exalt Allah. This only happens among disbelieving sinners; we ask Allah for safety.
