Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who permits seeking nearness to Allah through the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) after his death, denies the punishment of the grave, and permits building mosques over graves? Is he thereby a disbeliever?

Answer:
Without a doubt, if he permits building shrines over graves while knowing that the authentic hadiths state that whoever builds a mosque over a grave is cursed, and that he is among the worst of creation in the sight of Allah the Exalted, as stated in the authentic hadiths, then if he knows this, he is a disbeliever. Yes.
