Yalkut Yosef: O"H 328
It is forbidden to break Shabbat to send a request to a Haham to pray for a Holeh. This is true whether the Melacha would be De'oraita or even Derabanan. Even if it is well known and has been proven that the tefilot of that Haham are answered it is still not allowed to break Shabbat to send the request. If the Holeh himself insists that the request be sent, he must be told that sending the request involves hilul Shabbat and should be dissuaded. However, if he persists a non Jew may be told to go to the Haham since not sending someone there may make the Holeh upset and ultimately endanger him further.
