I think there is a balance here which if not kept can lead people astray. Yes there are accounts of Prophet Yusufs father being healed when he touched the cloak but that was a miracle that Allah allowed. And yes there are hadith of sahabah taking the used water of the prophet after wudhu but thats a different situation entirely. The prophet was in their midst. He was right THERE. They could touch him see him. Anyone that blessed and beloved to Allah, of course everyone would run to take whatever they could of his belongings.
But these examples are not the same as having a PICTURE of his sandals and thinking that picture will somehow bestow blessings upon you.
Doing dhum and reading Qur’anic ayats are completely different to a picture. There is evidence and sunah that the prophet did so these things.
However what you should remember is that it is with Allah’s permission that duas are then accepted. You just have more chance of duas being accepted if you do it the way the prophet did it because everything he did was the best way.

The thing is, seeking barakah in holy relics is not something new in Islamic history. Sahabah did it during Prophet’s life, Taba Ta’baeen did it after he (SAW) passed away from this world, and then these traditions were passed on to the next and the next and so on.

And you mentioned the Prophet Yusuf (AS)’ cloak…well, Allah could’ve done it without any cloak, but He made the cloak the source for the cure because of Prophet Yusuf (AS)'s prayer and devotion. The mention of the blessed cloak in Quran is there for us to ponder over.

I mean people do stupid stuff to show their devotion to their favourite movie stars or singers or whatever…then why look down upon those who would want to keep a paper cutting of the best of the creation’s sandal? And if they seek for any blessings in it so what?
They know that Allah can put shifa and barakah in any object whether it’s a cloak or a piece of fruit or medicine.
