Established intercession (شفاعة مثبتة)
العقيدة
المعنى الاصطلاحي :
The slave's intercession, after Allah's permission, for those who have met its conditions and avoided its impediments.
الشرح المختصر :
"Shafā‘ah muthbatah" (established intercession) is the "shafā‘ah" (intercession) that fulfills two conditions: 1. Permission from Allah for the intercessor to intercede. 2. Pleasure of Allah with the one receiving intercession. The evidence is Allah's statement: {And how many angels there are in the heavens whose intercession will not avail at all except after Allah has permitted (it) to whom He wills and approves.} [An-Najm: 26] This "shafā‘ah" is specific to those who worship Him alone without associating any partners with Him, out of His grace and favor. It is requested from Allah, the Exalted. The intercessor is honored by the permission to intercede, and the one being interceded for is the one whose words and deeds Allah is pleased after the permission is granted.
