Question:
Seeking to make supplication at shrines and graves, and calling upon Allah the Exalted alone without anyone else, is this permissible?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible to worship at shrines or at graves, because this is a means to worshipping the dead. This is not permissible. You have mosques, you have your home, you have lands that do not have graves; you can call upon Allah there and pray there. Allah is near and responsive in any place. But graves are prohibited for worship at them. Yes.
