Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: When we explain to the grave-worshippers that calling for aid is shirk (associating partners with Allah), they come and say, as a doubt, that calling for aid from the dead is not worship, so how can it be shirk?
Answer:
It is not worship, in their view. Calling for aid is one of the greatest types of worship, and it is more specific than seeking help, because seeking help occurs in times of ease, whereas calling for aid does not occur except in times of distress. Therefore, it is the greatest type of worship, or one of the greatest types of worship.
