How should one deal with neighbors who advocate for attachment to graves and do not accept advice?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: Some of my neighbors call people to attach themselves to the graves of the awliya (close friends of Allah) and to travel to them, and they insult and belittle the imams of the Najdi da'wah (calling to Islam). They do not accept our words and do not greet us with the salam, claiming that we are Wahhabis. He asks: What is the guidance regarding these neighbors?

Answer:
The guidance is: if you convey the message to them and they refuse, you have established the proof against them, and praise be to Allah, and your responsibility is discharged. You have established the proof against them and your responsibility is discharged. If they say, "You are Wahhabis," say, "Explain to us the Wahhabi madhab (school of jurisprudence). What is it? If it is false, we will abandon it. If it is the truth, we want the truth." Do they ask them what the Wahhabi madhab is? Yes.
