Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the prayer valid behind one who holds beliefs regarding graves and the supplication of the righteous among the dead, even if he is a layman?

Answer:
Yes. One who permits the worship of graves, the supplication to the dead, and calling upon them for aid is not to be prayed behind, because this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), even if he is a layman. This is shirk, and it is not permissible. Yes.
