Seeking help from the occupant of a grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: A man goes to a grave and says to the occupant of the grave, "Give me, O so-and-so, help me, O so-and-so, give me aid." Is this speech considered shirk (associating partners with Allah)?

Answer:
It is major shirk. Asking the dead for needs is major shirk that expels one from the religion. One should not ask the dead for anything. Yes.
