Question:
The worship of graves and attaching oneself to them is widespread in our lands, and some of the da'wah workers there do not care about forbidding such things. So what is your advice to us and to them regarding this matter?
Answer:
You should make it clear to them, teach them, and guide them. Allah will guide whom He wills, and you will have the reward. As for remaining silent and leaving them alone, Allah will ask you about that on the Day of Resurrection. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says: "It is not for the believers to go forth all together [in battle]. Why should not a group from each section of them go forth to gain understanding in religion and to warn their people when they return to them, so that they might guard themselves?" This is your duty: to spread knowledge and spread the call to Allah, the Exalted, and to teach the people. Yes.
