What is fatwa on saying “Ya Shaykh Madad” ? I have seen people saying “Ya Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani give me 1000 dollars”

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

What is fatwa on saying “Ya Shaykh Madad” ? I have seen people saying “Ya Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani give me 1000 dollars” “Ya Shaykh Raza Khan Barelwi give me a new car!!” is this allowed ?

Answer

To seek the help of any deceased and pray to him is Shirk. It is not
permissible to address any deceased by saying ‘Yaa Shaykh Madad’, ‘Yaa
Shaykh Raza Khan.’, etc.

If a Muslim does that, he is out of the fold of Islam, his Nikah will be
broken. If he does not renew his Imaan and Nikah, his relationship with his
wife will be Haraam.
