Is raising a structure over graves a form of seeking blessing from them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is raising a structure over graves a form of seeking blessing from them?

Answer:
Yes, raising a structure over them is a means to seeking blessing from them, worshipping them, and believing in them. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed those who build over graves and make them places of visitation; he cursed them (peace and blessings be upon him).
