Translation
A book that examines the concept of tawassul in Islam, distinguishing between its legitimate and innovative types according to the author’s approach. It begins by defining tawassul linguistically and legally, then defines the legitimate means such as tawassul with the names and attributes of God, good deeds, and the supplication of a righteous man, and responds to the doubts raised about this topic. The book is based on two lectures by the author, to which benefits from a previous message were added, making it a brief, comprehensive study of the rulings on supplication.
