Question:
This questioner says: A person says, "There is no god but Allah," but he calls upon 'Ali, al-Hasan, and al-Husayn. Is he a Muslim or a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah)?
Answer:
He is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) because he negates "There is no god but Allah." He says, "There is no god but Allah," and then says, "O 'Ali, O Husayn, O 'Abd al-Qadir, O so-and-so." This is a contradiction of "There is no god but Allah." So it does not benefit him because he has negated it through shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
