The Ruling on Attaching Oneself to Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q177: The questioner asks: What is the ruling on attaching oneself to graves?
A177: Attaching oneself to graves is shirk (associating partners with Allah). The one who attaches himself to a dead person, hoping for his benefit, fearing him, seeking his blessing, or doing something similar, is committing shirk with Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This is because the One who is feared, hoped for, called upon, and sought for aid is Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Calling upon other than Him and drawing near to other than Him is major shirk.
