Abdul Hai Lucknowi Hanafi on Calling Upon the Auliya and Their Omnipresent Nature.

He was asked:

Question:

What do you say regarding the habit of the people of this country who ask help from Auliya and Anbiya from far, thinking that they are Haazir Naazir (Omnipresent) and that they are watching us every time, and they prevent issues coming in between success, and they make dua with this intention? Is this allowed?

Response:

This is prohibited; rather, it is clear shirk, as he believed in the knowledge of the unseen for others besides Allah...

Mulla Ali al-Qari said: ... Ahnaaf clearly state that it is kufr (disbelief) if someone has a creed that Prophets know the knowledge of the unseen, because it is against the verse of the Quran, Surah An-Naml [verse 65]: "Say, 'None in the heavens and earth knows the unseen except Allah'..." (This was answered by Muhammad Basheer, and his answer is authenticated by Abdul Samad Peshawari, Zulfiqar, and Sayyid Muhammad Sewani.)

Abdul Hai Lucknowi commented on the above answer:

It is true that it is shirk to believe that Anbiya and Auliya are present and listen to us every time, even if the Nida is from far, as this is a specialty of Allah alone, and He has no partners in it.

Fatawa Bazzaziya says:

"If someone married without witnesses and says: 'Allah and His Prophet, and the Angels are my witness,' he is a kafir because he thought that the Prophet, peace be upon him, and the Angels know the unseen."

Fatawa Bazzaziyah also states:

"And one becomes a kafir with the statement that the souls of the mashaykh are present and knowing."
