The ruling on making du'a' for a mother who was attached to shrines

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
My mother passed away, and she was attached to shrines; she would honor them, visit them, and love them. I do not know if she directed some form of worship toward them. When I advised her, she would laugh and say, "I know that Allah is the one worthy of worship, who has no partner, but I love them intensely." What is obligatory for me after her death?

The Shaykh:
What is obligatory for you is to make du'a' for her and seek forgiveness for her. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,

The questioner:
This questioner asks: What is meant by the statement of some scholars that action is a condition?

The Shaykh:
Unless she was attached to graves and called upon their occupants, asking them for her needs. If so, she is a disbeliever; do not make du'a' for her and do not seek forgiveness for her. Yes.
