Daa’iyah asking about books on the topic of takfeer, implementation of sharee’ah and seeking the help of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)

27-10-2007

Question 104500

I am doing da’wah, and I have been asked some questions about takfeer and rebelling against rulers, and also about seeking intercession through the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asking him for help. Can you tell me of some sources that give answers to such problems, or answer them?.
