Is it permissible to supplicate to Allah in prayer through the intercession of virtuous days like Ramadan?
Supplicating Allah Almighty is of two types: permissible and impermissible. The permissible type is supplicating through the names and attributes of Allah, through righteous deeds, and through the prayer of a righteous servant. The impermissible type is supplicating through means that Allah has not made a way, such as supplicating through the status of a created being or the right of a created being, for Al-Haskafi said: "Because created beings have no right over Allah Almighty; rather, He bestows His mercy upon whomever He wills, without any obligation upon Him." And Abu Hanifa and Abu Yusuf said: "It is not befitting for anyone to invoke Allah except through Him," meaning through His names and attributes. And it came in Al-Bahr Al-Raiq: "It is not permissible to say 'by the right of so-and-so upon You,' nor 'by the right of Your prophets, Your saints, and Your messengers, and the House and Al-Mash'ar Al-,' because a created being has no right over the Creator."
