Intercession is Not Attained with Shirk
Shaikh ‘Abdullāh Al-Bukhārī, may Allāh protect him, said:
Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim said:
Intercession [on the Day of Judgment] can only be attained by removing [shirk–worshipping or equating other than Allāh with Allāh] from tawḥīd; so whoever’s tawḥīd is more complete is more deserving of intercession; [intercession] is not, [as some people think], attained by doing shirk with one whose intercession is sought.
قلت: قال الإمام ابن القيم:( الشفاعة إنما تُنال بتجريد التوحيد،فمن كان أكمل توحيداً كان أحرى بالشفاعة،لا أنها تنال بالشرك بالشفيع)
