Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: Do you advise us to go in our country to the graves and tombs that are worshipped besides Allah, and say to the people what the Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) used to say? We tell them, "Allah is better than the one in this grave," and then we go?
Answer:
If you are not afraid for yourselves that something might happen to you from them, then say it to them.
