What is the ruling on one who claims that some relatives have the ability to treat fractures and wounds due to their miraculous powers (karamat), and does this constitute disbelief (kufr)? And what is the ruling on describing a person as "barakah" (a blessing) or "mabrook" (blessed), or claiming that their blessing (barakah) can facilitate matters, while believing that this is a means ordained by Allah?

The affirmation of the miracles of the awliya' (saints) is agreed upon by the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah (Sunni Muslims). These are gifts from God bestowed upon whomever He wills among His awliya' for the benefit of creation and the triumph of truth. However, whoever believes that the awliya' manage the universe, this is major shirk (polytheism). Furthermore, seeking blessings (tabarruk) from the persons of the righteous or their relics is not legislated, as this was exclusive to the Prophet (peace be upon him), due to the lack of evidence for seeking blessings from anyone else, and because it is a means leading to shirk and extremism.
