The ruling on one who calls upon the dead and the establishment of the argument against him

Question:
The questioner says: If a person calls upon the dead to remove a hardship or bring a benefit, is he a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), or is it necessary for the argument (hujjah) to be established against him?

Answer:
The one who recites the Qur'an, which forbids shirk (associating partners with Allah), and threatens the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) with eternal abode in the Fire, and warns them regarding the consequences of their deeds, stating that nothing will be accepted from them, and that the argument has not been established against them—until when is the argument established? For those against whom the argument is not established in the Qur'an, why is the argument established? The Qur'an is clear in this matter; it does not need clarification or proof. As for the hidden matters that require scholars, these must be clarified. As for the apparent matters of shirk, tawhid (the oneness of Allah), the prohibition of zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), the prohibition of riba (usury or interest), and the prohibition of major sins, they do not need clarification.

May Allah reward you.
