Supplication at the graves of the righteous and the prophets

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on supplicating to Allah at the graves of the righteous and the prophets?

Answer:
It is not permissible. This is one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah), and may Allah protect us from it. Graves are not a place for supplication to be made at them; rather, supplication is made for the deceased, not at their graves. Yes.
