Question:
This questioner says: Is it considered shirk (associating partners with Allah) if a visitor asks the deceased to ask Allah for forgiveness for those who visited him?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. Nothing is asked of the deceased, neither intercession nor supplication nor anything else, because he is in need of someone to supplicate for him; he is in need of someone to supplicate for him, and he is not the one who supplicates for the visitors. He possesses nothing and is unable to do so. Yes.
