Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is the one who circumambulates the grave a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) or an innovator?

Answer:
One does not circumambulate the grave, for circumambulation is only for the Ka'bah, and this is a religious practice that Allah has not authorized. Yes.
