Question:
The questioner asks: What is the position of a student of knowledge if he finds a grave in his village?
Answer:
He should call people to Allah and make it clear that this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is not permissible. He should make this clear and repeat the advice, perhaps Allah will benefit them through it. He should not leave the people alone and say, "There is no benefit," and remain silent, while he is capable of making it clear, capable of giving advice and spreading knowledge. Yes.
