Question:
As Salamu Alaykum
In online islamic course, found teachers saying that Prophet(saw) cannot hear salams unless we go to his (saw) grave, and against asking madad from Awliya.
Should I leave the program? Could you please suggest an alternative?
Answer:
Waalaykumussalam warahmatullah,
If you can bear with such inexcusable gaps and have the means of detecting and protecting yourself against their harm then them stick with the program and benefit from what you can. Otherwise it is advisable to drop it and find people of true learning and beneficial knowledge as time is short. You may also look up Shaykh Muhammad bin Alawi’s book “The Live of the Prophets in the Grave” which is imminently coming out at Imam Ghazali Institute publications in sha Allah.
