The ruling on seeking supplication from the righteous living at their graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Sometimes I rebuke those who go to certain people they attach themselves to and call upon them, saying, “We are asking them to supplicate to Allah for us because they are righteous people and they are alive, and we do not worship them.”

Answer:
And what are you calling upon? Tell him, “You call upon Allah yourself. Why do you go to someone to call upon Allah for you? You call upon Allah
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
[Ghafir 40:60]
.” Yes. He did not say, “Go to someone to call upon Allah for you.” He said, “Call upon Me.” Yes.
