The Ruling on Seeking Intercession and Supplication from the Dead

The questioner:
And to something I say, a condition of the report, and the one who says the owner of the grave, or rather, who benefits? May Allah know best, is this knowledge?

The Shaykh:
Yes. It is not permissible to ask the dead for anything. Not intercession, not supplication, not seeking forgiveness, nor anything else. Because the dead person’s deeds have been cut off. So nothing is asked of him. Rather, intercession is sought from Allah (Mighty and Majestic). One says: O Allah, do not deprive me of the intercession of Your Prophet.
Intercede Do not deprive me of the intercession of Your righteous servants. It is sought from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). They do not call out to the graves asking them. No supplication, no seeking forgiveness, no intercession, and no need from the events, because the dead have ended and their deeds have been cut off, and they do not perceive anything. Rather, they are called upon for mercy and forgiveness is sought for them. They are shown mercy if they were Muslims. Yes.
