Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who calls upon the dead and seeks their aid, and is it permissible for him to be an imam?
Answer:
He is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). The one who calls upon the dead is a mushrik. How can he be an imam? He is not even a Muslim until he can be an imam, until he repents to Allah and makes his supplication sincere to Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
