Assalamualicum my dear brothers and sisters, to do (wasilla) which means asking Allah (Swt) in dua through the prophet (sallahualihiwasallam) is allowed, <b>the reason is being this there is a hadith to the nearest meaning that the prophet (sallahualihiwasallam) said to the nearest menaing that "on the day of judgement after all of or some of humanitiy have gone to all the prophet (a.s) and asked them to inercede for them then humanitiy will come to the prophet (sallahualihewasallam) and say "Ya rasullah (sallahualihiwasallam) please interced for us then the intersession will begin....." (sahih bukhari and muslim)</b>
scolors use this hadith to say that when on the day of judgement people will do this then at that time why not go or say straight to Allah (Swt) "Ya allah please start the judgement because we can no longer bare this hardship" here we can see that allah (swt) will use the prophet (sallahualihewasallam) as a medium, here we can clearly see that the people use the prophet (sallahualihiwasallam) as wasilla inorder so that allah (Swt) listerns to their duas and pleas. though the medium of the prophet (sallahualihiwasallam)
i hope i was able to fullfil your thirst in this humble attempt which i made!
Masallama
