Can the Saints Travel for Hajj and to other Places while Alive or After Death?

Q: Ilm--49: what cio the Ulema of Deen and the Muftis say about saints travelling in mysterious ways for Hajj to other places while alive and after death Please reply with references.

Answer: by the permission of Allaah. those close to Him can travel or Hajj and any where else This is not by their own doing, but by the permission of Allaah, which they, attain because of the blessings of following the Qur'aan, the sunnah and their pious predecessors These are their Karaamaat and the Mu?jizah of Rasulullaah SAW.
Sheikh Muhammad Faadhil Surati RAH. (1217 A. H. 1302 A.H.) was a saint from Surat (India) The day he passed away (in Surat) was the day of Arafah and before passing away, he told the people that he would be going for Hajj, when some residents of Surat returned from Hajj that year, they swore that they saw him on the plain of Arafah.

Another similar incident is narrated in Ikmaalush shiyam about Sheikh Ataa'ullaah Iskandari RAH. Sheikh Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abdul Kareem bin Ataa'ullaah RAH. wrote the book Al Hikam. He was also known as the son of Sheikh Ataa'ullaah Iskandari RAH. Because Al Hikam was not arranged in chapters, Sheikh Ali Muttaqi RAH. arranged all the subjects of Al Hikam in categories and called the book Tabweebul Hikam. Thereafter, Hadhrat Allaama Khaleel Ahmad Sahib Muhaajir Madini RAH. translated Tabweebul Hikam in Urdu and named it Itmaamun Ni'am. Moulana Muhammad Abdullaah Sahib then wrote a commentary of this translation, calling it Ikmaalush Shiyam.

The incident of Sheikh Ataa'ullaah Iskandari RAH. is related in this book, stating that when none of his students went for Hajj, he was surprised to see Sheikh Ataa'ullaah RAH. on the Mataaf, whereas he was at home when the student left. He later saw Sheikh Ataa'ullaah RAH. at again at the Maqaam Ibraheem, then again between Safa and Marwa and yet again in Arafah. When he returned home, he asked the people whether Sheikh Ataa'ullaah RAH. had also been for Hajj. When the people said that he had not, the student went to see Sheikh Ataa'ullaah RAH. himself. When the Sheikh asked the student whom he had seen during Hajj, the student replied that he had seen Sheikh Ataa'ullaah RAH. To this, Sheikh Ataa'ullaah RAH. only smiled. And Allaah knows best what is most correct.
