Question:
He asks: Is it permissible to supplicate for the people of innovation with mercy, forgiveness, and Paradise?
Answer:
If they are Muslims who have not exited Islam due to their innovation, then they are to be supplicated for, advised, and called to abandon the innovation. They are to be supplicated for along with the Muslims in general. They are considered among the sinners of the monotheists, unless their innovation necessitates shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief) that takes them out of the religion. For example, supplicating to other than Allah and worshipping graves and shrines. This is an innovation of shirk. Building on graves in order to be worshipped and exalted. Yes.
