Question:
Is it okay to make Dua to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH like for example we know we worship Allah and there is no deity but Allah and everything comes from Allah but is it okay to make dua to the Prophet PBUH like saying Ya RasulAllah cure my mother, help me.
Answer:
See the Article “Asking “Ya Shaykh Madad! – Istighatha/Isti`ana” and the article “QUESTIONS ON TAWASSUL” at sunnah.org.
To learn the correct way of du`a through the means of the Prophet, sall-Allahu `alayhi wa sallama or through the means of the Saliheen, you need a Guiding Shaykh.
