What is the validity of the statement: It is not permissible to declare a disbeliever one who circumambulates graves until the conditions are established and the impediments are removed?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some contemporary students of knowledge say that those who declare disbelievers the ones who circumambulate graves are takfiris (those who declare others disbelievers), because the one who circumambulates a grave might be insane. The correct view is that no one is declared a disbeliever until the conditions are established and the impediments are removed. Is such a statement correct?

Answer:
This is the speech of the Murji'ah. This is the speech of the Murji'ah. The scholars did not say that the one who circumambulates graves is a disbeliever absolutely. Rather, they distinguish in this matter. They say: If he circumambulates with the intention of drawing near to Allah and thinks that circumambulating the grave is permissible, then he is misguided and not a disbeliever. He is not a disbeliever; he is mistaken. But if he circumambulates the grave intending to draw near to the deceased, then this is major shirk (associating partners with Allah), because circumambulation is an act of worship and is not fitting except for Allah. And they distinguish in this matter. Yes.
