Does the one who worships the grave and directs some of the worship to the occupant of the grave become a disbeliever, or must the obstacles be absent?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does the one who worships the grave and directs some of the worship to the occupant of the grave become a disbeliever in himself, or must the conditions be present and the obstacles be absent?

Answer:
If the proof has reached him and the call has reached him, and the Qur'an has reached him, then he has no excuse. And if the Qur'an has reached him and he understands its language, which is Arabic, then the proof has been established against him, and he is judged to be a disbeliever specifically. Yes, by virtue of his action, his shirk (associating partners with Allah), and his worship of other than Allah, even though the Qur'an has reached him, which forbids shirk and commands the worship of Allah alone, with no partner for Him. So he is the one who falls short in that he did not reflect upon the Qur'an and did not learn the Qur'an. Yes.
