The way placing a saddle on graves is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is placing a saddle on graves a means to shirk?

Answer:
They say that a lamp is not placed on a grave unless it has a purpose, and that it benefits and harms. This means it is a means to exaggeration regarding the grave. If it were not lit, it would be like the other graves, lost among them and not drawing attention.
