The Ruling on Seeking Blessing from the Righteous
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Ibrahim Abu Hamid, asks in his questions on creed: What is the ruling on seeking blessing from the righteous and their effects, O Shaykh?
Answer:
It is not permissible to seek blessing from the righteous or from their effects. This is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Seeking blessing from his effects, his sweat, his saliva, and his ablution is specific to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for others, no. The Companions did not seek blessing from al-Siddiq, nor from 'Umar, nor from 'Uthman, nor from 'Ali. And because it is one of the means to shirk (associating partners with Allah), it is obligatory to leave that and to beware of it.
