Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the people present circumambulate the graves with the polytheists, saying it is to endear us to them or them to us, and then we invite them to leave off this circumambulation. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
Whoever circumambulates with them has done their deed and entered into their deed and agreed with them. He agreed with them. This will come up in the third nullifier: whoever does not disavow the polytheists, or validates their deed, or... and so on. This will come, if Allah wills. It is not permissible for a Muslim to participate with the polytheists in their deed and circumambulate the graves with them in order to be polite to them, please them, and not rebuke them. This is not permissible. Yes.
