Re: Is this true?

@ZeeshanParvez

It would be nice if you only presented evidence for the subjects under discussion which are Tawassul and Istigathaa and while your first example fits the second is only regarding Barakah which is something not even the Salafis deny!!!

I am answering a general mindset that exists, and all these issues are things which refute you, if you were open to refutation that is.
As for Tawassul - then I have said its outright denial would be kufr in my view, and this is something you feel sometimes. Well you need to identify that feeling and correct it
Istighatha is the calling of creation who should be out of reach in the zahiri sense, and it is supported by Ayats of The Quran and narrations of Prophetic Hadith, and Hadith of the Companions RadiAllahu Anhu, and practice of the Ummah, of which a small selection have been shared with you. and as such we Believe it is both possible and permissible. Since my last post on this thread I have practised istighatha on a couple of occasions, All Praise be to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala

Also this is getting to be a bit of a cat and mouse game. You say this is Tawassul, and this is Barakah and this somehow absolves you. Well it does not. You see when you say this is Tawassul, I say what is Tawassul: calling Allah for help, calling Ya RasoolAllah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Ahlihi wa Sallam for help, calling Allah Most Merciful again. If you say this is Tawassul I agree it is Tawassul and that is what Imam Subki Rehmatullah Alaih said when he explained Istigatha is a form of Tawassul.

Again likewise for Barakah. Well everything good is Barakah. So just saying it is Barakah does not allow you to walk away. Count your Blessings Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala says. A soft heart is a Blessing (Barkat) from the Barkats of Allah Ta’ala and above we hear seeing people makes the heart soft and ''It has been a norm of Ulama and Muhaqiqoon to make dua near the graves of righteous people and also to ask through their intercession…Anyone who has some need, he should go to the (graves of righteous) and make them Waseela.‘’

So yeah its Barakah, and Barakah is AID/HELP so shrugging shoulders does not work. You say its Barakah and I say its Barakah, so the question is what is Barakah - its aid/help/benefit - and where is it - its at the Graves

Now as for the first example, I think you are aware that Imam Al-Dhahabi was a Shaafi and not a Hanafi. Unless you are a Salafi who picks his evidences from anywhere he can find them, I am assuming you are a Hanafi. Can you please give me a classical scholar from the Hanafi school of thought who supports your stance?

What has been quoted here from those Scholars of whichever Madhab is the general position of the Ummah, including Hanafis. We are not different to the other Madhabs in religion, so the same feelings exist in us, so much so that the unanimously celebrated scholars are often from a variety of different backgrounds and madhabs.

I already gave you a classical scholar whom you overlooked!!

The Book البحر الرائق شرح كنز الدقائق written by زين الدين بن إبراهيم ابن نجيم who was a very famous Hanafi born in 926 H Have a look at what he says in this book of his](إسلام ويب - البحر الرائق شرح كنز الدقائق - تكملة البحر الرائق للطوري - كتاب الكراهية - فصل في البيع - والدعاء بمعقد العز من عرشك- الجزء رقم8)

لا يجوز أن يقول بحق فلان عليك وكذا بحق أنبيائك ، وأوليائك ورسلك والبيت والمشعر الحرام لأنه لا حق للمخلوق على الخالق وإنما يخص برحمته من يشاء من غير وجوب عليه

It is not permitted that one say by the right of so and so upon you and likewise (it is not proper to say) by the right of Your Prophets and Your Saints and Your Messengers and The House and Al-Mash’ar Al-Haraam because there is no right for the creation over the Creator and He specifies by means of His Mercy only those He Wills without any obligation upon him.
