Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is the issue of seeking intercession and supplication from the deceased at his grave a matter of disagreement among the people of the Sunnah?
Answer:
No, it is not a matter of disagreement. One does not make supplication at the grave, nor does one pray there, because this is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah). One visits the grave only for reflection and taking a lesson if the deceased was not a Muslim, and also to make supplication for him and greet him with salam if he was a Muslim. Yes.
