Abstract:
One of the main creeds in the Holy Quran and Hadiths of infallible Imams is the subject of seeking bless. In the Holy Quran, there is a verse clarifying that the Mecca is blessed: "Indeed the first house to be set up for mankind is the one at Bakkah, blessed and a guidance for all nations (3:96). At the tradition of the Muslims, we saw that Muslims were seeking bless from the Quran or the ablution water of the Holy prophet. But the Wahhabi as a new Islamic sect believe that seeking bless from the dead is against the Islamic laws. But according to the Islamic sources, we can seek bless from the sacred things. Care must be taken that some conditions must meet to regulate seeking the bless: 1- this blessing is under the God's realm and with his own permission, and if we consider it independently, it will be Shirk. 2- we must have a reason from the Holy Quran or tradition of the Holy prophet to ascribe this blessing to the Holy prophet, otherwise we are not to allowed to seek bless.
Machine summary:
However, certain instances of Tabarruk, such as seeking blessings from the deceased or relics separated from the friends of God, have been considered not only rejected but sometimes even deemed Major Shirk (polytheism) by Wahhabis; this is while what is derived from Islamic sources is the validity of seeking blessings from Islamic sanctities, whether the sacred object is living or dead, and whether it is connected or separate.
Blessing is not restricted to the time of life In the Shia school of thought, the blessedness of objects through the Divine Saints is not exclusive to their lifetime; rather, this possibility also exists during their death; just as the dust of the grave of Imam Hussain (AS) is a soil that, by the consensus of the scholars of the Imami school, can be used for seeking blessing and a small amount of it can be eaten for seeking healing.
1 The fact that the Holy Messenger 2 (peace be upon him and his family) is a key to blessing, and the infallible Imams 3 (peace be upon them) are dwellings of blessing, along with many other evidences, shows in a general sense that these great personalities are the loci of divine blessing due to their closeness to God. Therefore, whatever is attributed to them, such as the soil of their graves, their shrines, their doors, walls, and sarcophagi, is blessed; even those who struggled in their path, such as scholars 4 and martyrs, have benefited from their blessing due to their connection to them 5, and seeking blessings from them is also permissible from this perspective.
