The existence of graves and shrines that are worshipped other than Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some people say that, praise be to Allah, there are no graves or shrines that are worshipped other than Allah. Is shirk (associating partners with Allah) a single form, or does it have several forms and shapes?

Answer:
There are no graves or shrines; this is a denial of reality. Go to Egypt, Syria, and other countries, and you will see many graves and shrines that are worshipped other than Allah. In this country, however, thanks to Allah, due to the call of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him), Allah has purified it from these shrines. We ask Allah for steadfastness and continuity in this. As for other countries, the shrines exist in great numbers.
