Advice Regarding Shrines, Graves, and Seeking Blessing from Their Occupants

Question:
He says: In our country, there are many shrines and graves. People circumambulate them, seek blessing from their occupants, and even ask them for aid and support. They believe that these people have the power to act in the universe. Is there any advice regarding this great evil?

Answer:
What happens in some countries, which is the worship of other than Allah, is due to the failure to enjoin good and forbid evil.
It is also due to the absence of scholars who are truly scholars, who fear Allah. There are scholars who do not fear Allah; rather, they prioritize their worldly interests, their jobs, their gains, and their status among people. They do not forbid evil. They see people worshipping other than Allah, yet they do not forbid them, nor do they clarify to them that these are traitors, may Allah protect us from that. So, what happens in your place is due to the negligence of your leaders and your scholars. You should advise them to fear Allah, the Exalted, and to fulfill their duty. Yes.
