The ruling on the 'Umrah of one who calls upon the dead and slaughters at their graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: A man calls upon the righteous dead, slaughters at their graves, and rubs himself against them. Is his 'Umrah valid?
Answer:
No, this is shirk (associating partners with Allah). The obligation is that he cannot enter the Sacred Mosque[At-Tawbah 9:28]. The one who calls upon anyone other than Allah, whether the dead, idols, trees, or stones, is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah). He must repent to Allah, and his deeds are not accepted from him, neither Hajj nor 'Umrah, nor prayer, nor anything else.
until he repents from shirk (associating partners with Allah). Allah the Exalted said:[Az-Zumar 39:65] He the Exalted said: [Al-An'am 6:88]

O you who have believed, indeed the polytheists are unclean, so let them not approach al-Masjid al-Haram after this, their [final] year.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّمَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ نَجَسٌ فَلَا يَقْرَبُوا الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ بَعْدَ عَامِهِمْ هَٰذَاuntil he repents from shirk (associating partners with Allah). Allah the Exalted said:
And it was already revealed to you and to those before you that if you should associate [anything] with Allah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be among the losers."
وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ وَلَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَBut if they had associated others with Allah, then worthless for them would be whatever they were doing.
وَلَوْ أَشْرَكُوا لَحَبِطَ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
