Question:
In his second question he says: What is the ruling on seeking blessing from the graves of the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the righteous? I ask for your guidance.
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah), because if one seeks blessing from them, it means he hopes for their blessing. He may even call upon them and seek nearness to Allah through them. This is shirk, or a means to shirk. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh
