What is the ruling on one who protects shrines or domes for purposes other than protecting shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Question:
He says: What is the ruling on one who protects the shrines, maqams, and domes if he does not intend to protect shirk (associating partners with Allah), but his intention is other considerations?

Answer:
It is not permissible to protect them; they must be demolished and removed. The one who protects them is protecting shirk (associating partners with Allah). So, he is pleased with it, meaning he is pleased with shirk (associating partners with Allah). If he is pleased with shirk (associating partners with Allah), he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). Yes, it is not permissible to protect them. But some people consider them a source of income for the state; they take money from them, considering them a source of income for the state. The Barha and the graves have custodians who take money and give some of it to the state. This is haram (forbidden), and may Allah protect us from it. And being pleased with the idols. Yes.
