Do you Believe that Pious Saints have knowledge of the Unseen
Answer
Ilm ul-Ghayb (knowledge of the unseen without any medium) is the special attribute of Allah Ta'ala. Pious people do not have knowledge of the unseen without any medium. The Ilm al-Ghayb of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) was through Wahy (revelation) or Kashf (divine inspiration).
The knowledge of the unseen of pious saints is also by Kashf.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
