Is asking for supplication or intercession from the deceased major shirk that expels one from the religion?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is asking for supplication or intercession from the deceased major shirk that expels one from the religion, or does it not become shirk unless a type of worship is directed to the deceased?

Answer:
My brother, we passed through this two lessons ago. I think Shaykh 'Abd said that asking for intercession from the deceased is shirk, and that it is major shirk. We passed through this before, perhaps two lessons ago. It is in the book you have. Yes. But perhaps the questioner was not present. Yes.
