The Ruling on Vowing to Pray at a Grave or for a Grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One who vows to pray at a grave, and one who vows to pray for a grave: are both vows shirk (associating partners with Allah), or is the first a major sin and the second shirk?

Answer:
If one vows to pray for a grave, that is shirk. If one vows to pray to Allah at a grave, that is part of a means of shirk. Yes.
