Question:
May Allah reward you. The sender, A.A., says in his first question: What is the ruling on offering vows to the awliya (close friends of Allah)?
Answer:
The answer to this has already been given: performing any type of worship for the awliya (close friends of Allah), whether slaughtering, making a vow, circumambulating, seeking blessing, or anything else, is major shirk (associating partners with Allah) that takes one out of the religion; because it is worship of other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
