The answer

Seeking aid from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, is forbidden by Islamic law, based on the : "Aid is not sought from me; rather, aid is sought from Allah," and "If you ask, ask Allah; and if you seek help, seek help from Allah." It was not known for the Tabi'in (successors) to permit it. However, some scholars did permit seeking intercession through him.
