The ruling on rubbing against graves, kissing them, and seeking blessing from their soil?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says: We see some of those who visit graves rubbing against them and kissing them. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
The answer to that has already been given, because it is not permissible to seek blessing from graves, or from their soil, or to rub against them or their stones, because that is one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah). If he thinks that this is a cause for the acceptance of supplication, then it is one of the means of shirk, and it is a bid'ah (religious innovation). And if he thinks that this will achieve his objective and fulfill his need, then it is major shirk, because it is supplication to other than Allah. Yes.
