Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is seeking nearness to Allah through the person of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a matter of disagreement among scholars, and is it permissible to study religious knowledge from one who holds the view of seeking nearness to Allah through the person of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Answer: No, it is not permissible to seek nearness to Allah through the person of the Prophet; however, seeking nearness to Allah through following him (peace and blessings be upon him), through following his path and obeying him, this is good. As for seeking nearness to Allah through his person, this has not been transmitted; this is a religious innovation. Seeking nearness to Allah through his person or through his status is a religious innovation that has not been transmitted. Therefore, this type of seeking nearness is not permissible, and the one who does it is an innovator.
