Excerpt from this Month Reading “Tawassul Its Types& Its Rulings”

The Incorrectness and Futility of seeking to do Tawassul in any way other than the Three Preceding ways

So from what has precede you know that prescribed Tawassul, that which is proven by the texts of the Book and the Sunnah, and which is proven by the practice of the Pious Predecessors, and upon which there is consensus (ijmaa) of the Muslims is:

1.      Tawassul by means of the Names of Allah, the Blessed and the Most High, and His Attributes.

2.      Tawassul by means of a righteous action which the person who is supplicating has done.

3.      Tawassul by means of the supplication made by a righteous man.

As for anything besides these types of Tawassul, then there is disagreement about it, and what we believe firmly and hold as our religion before Allah, the Most High, is that other ways are not permissible, and not prescribed. This is because there is no acceptable proof for them, and these things have been spoken against by verifying scholars in successive centuries of Islamic history.
