4 – Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: It is essential to note that we believe it is permissible to seek blessing from the relics of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and we do not denounce it, contrary to what our opponents think, but this seeking of blessing is subject to certain conditions, including the following: Correct faith that is acceptable to Allaah. If a person is not a Muslim who believes sincerely in Islam, Allaah will never grant him any good by his seeking blessing in this manner. It is also stipulated that the one who wants to seek blessing have found one of the genuine relics of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). We know that relics such as his garments, hair, etc. have been lost and it is not possible for anyone to prove with certainty that any of them exist. Al-Tawassul (1/145).
