What is the ruling on visiting the grave of a deceased person, talking to him, and seeking his permission to do a certain matter?

Question:
This questioner says that a preacher says that he does not establish any program or da'wah (calling to Islam) project except after going to his mother's grave, except. Except after going to his mother's grave and seeking her permission. What is the ruling on this statement?

Answer:
Shawarma. And no human being said that Satan speaks in the name of his mother, saying, "Do not do this, do not do that," because it is established that Satan meets grave visitors in the form of the deceased, or says, "I am so-and-so, I have taken care of your needs, and whatever you want is with me." This is Satan, not the deceased, but Satan speaks with his tongue and appears in his form to deceive them.
The deceased is dead; nothing is requested from him, and he is unable to do anything. He is bound by his deeds. He is in need of someone to make du'a' (supplication) for him, to give charity on his behalf, to perform Hajj and 'Umrah for him. He is in need of this. Yes.
So how does the living, capable person go to the inert deceased and ask him? But if the fitrah (innate natural disposition) is changed, do not be amazed. Yes.
