Summary
Believing that created beings have the power to produce effects and change things is not permitted, and the Risalah Tauhid classes it as shirk because it contradicts true tauhid. The questioner is advised to observe the limits between men and women and dress modestly, accept Allah's decree with patience and an open heart, increase night prayers and supplication, obey her parents and uphold family ties.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mempercayai bahawa makhluk boleh memberi kesan dan mengubah sesuatu adalah tidak dibolehkan bahkan disebut di dalam Risalah Tauhid bahawa termasuk perkara syirik.
