Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is the term "worshippers of graves" applied only to one who worships the grave, or to everyone who reveres graves and the dead awliya (close friends of Allah)?

Answer:
Revering them with truth is fine. Respecting them with truth and knowing their status and rank is fine. What is meant here is excessive reverence and exaggeration regarding them.
