Recourse means the mediation of an object, an action, or a person in front of Allah, with the purpose of approaching Allah, is of parts. By accepting some of its parts. Ibn Taimiyyah believes that resorting to the spirits of the Lord`s Particular Friends is a case of heresy, polytheism and, therefore, unlawful. He hs viewed those of these beliefs as lawfully condemned to death. As in the field of religious knowledge they are extreme traditionalist and in the field of semantics extreme externalist and view the companions of the prophets and two generations of their followers, tabi`in and tabi`ni tabi`n, as being scientific authority. In addition, their attitude of monotheism, polytheism and worship is incorrect and pay no attention to the views and beliefs of other Muslims and, therefore, contrary to all other Muslims, view recourse to the spirits as unlawful. In the present paper with the documentary and analytical method, their view has been critically studied and it has been proved that on the basis of of Shiite and Sunni sources, recourse to the spirits of the Lord`s particular friends is lawful.
