In this
chapter,
we have
seen the
three
permissible
types of
Tawassul,
and
making
Du’aa by
means of
the
honor or
position
of the
righteous
is not
one of
them.
Rather,
this
type of
Tawassul
that is
followed
by the
Deobandis
is an
innovation.
It has
been
clearly
condemned
by Imam
Abu
Haneefah,
whom the
Deobandis
claim to
follow.
We have
also
seen how
the
Deobandis
consider
direct
invocation
of the
righteous
to be a
form of
incorrect
Waseelah
and this
is no
Waseelah
at all
but
outright
Shirk.
Many
stories
mentioned
in
Fazaail-e-Aamaal
encourage
towards
clear
supplication
directed
towards
the
Prophet
(sallallahu
alaihi
wa-sallam),
for
which
there
can be
no
excuses
or
justification.
