Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the famous saying, or rather the well-known phrase, "And we take refuge in Him" considered major shirk (associating partners with Allah) because it is a supplication to an absent person?
Answer:
It is a lamentation, not a supplication to him. It is a lamentation for what befall him, when the disbelievers seized him or they wronged him. She lamented Caliph al-Mu'tasim. This falls under the category of lamentation. Yes, it is not in the category of supplicating to an absent creation. Rather, it is in the category of lamentation, taking pride, claiming lineage, and tribal loyalty. Yes.
