Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on supplicating to Allah at the graves of the righteous, and what is the intent behind that?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to supplicate at graves, nor to pray at graves. This is not permissible because it leads to the worship of graves.
