The Ruling on Circumambulating Graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the ruling on circumambulating graves?

Answer:
It is forbidden, and it is one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah), one of the means of shirk. Satan made it attractive to them that this is obedience to Allah the Exalted, and then when they became accustomed to it, He came to them and made the worship of these idols attractive to them.
