Question:
This questioner says: Is merely staying at a grave and remaining there considered shirk (associating partners with Allah), even if he does not worship the grave?
Answer:
It is a means to shirk. It is not shirk itself, but it is a means to shirk, because if he stays at it, sits at it, and visits it repeatedly, he will end up calling upon it instead of Allah, even if it takes a long time. Yes.
