If one says during Hajj: “Help, O Messenger of Allah,” does that constitute shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We hear from some pilgrims during the tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah). We hear from them some phrases of shirk (associating partners with Allah), such as “Help, help, O Messenger of Allah,” and others. Are they disbelievers, or are they excused due to ignorance in this matter?

Answer:
It is clarified to him; perhaps he is ignorant and does not know, or he hears people saying it, or he is told this phrase. This is because even the rituals they follow are misguided, containing the teaching of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and may Allah protect us from that. So, it is assumed that he is ignorant, and it is clarified to him. If he persists and does not accept, he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah).
