TYPES OF LEGAL tawassul
TYPES OF LEGAL tawassul
Human beings by nature seek all means to what benefits them, and seek all means to avoid hardship. If your child is sick, then you call a doctor, who will examine him and prescribe a course of treatment. This is a legal means of tawassul that Islam permits.
But if you visit a dead doctor at his grave and ask him to cure your child, or seek the assistance of an impostor or a faith-healer—a person who is ignorant of medicine and ignorant of religion and who depends upon demonic deception—is to violate the law which Allah revealed to His Prophet . Then this is an illegal means of tawasul.
If you buy the doctor’s prescription and give it to your son to drink, then this is a legal means (tawasul), while if you take it and hang it on his neck as a charm, this means (tawasul) is illegal.
