Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Some people in our country, when they want to preserve a specific item, place it next to the graves and at the sites of the awliya (close friends of Allah). He asks: Does this violate their creed?
Answer:
Without a doubt, this is seeking help from the dead. This is seeking help from the dead. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and it is not permissible. Yes.
