The questioner:
A questioner says: If a man, for example, slaughters his 'Id sacrifice at the grave of so-and-so, hoping that blessing will descend upon his slaughtered animal, is this slaughter considered major shirk (associating partners with Allah) or minor shirk?
The Shaykh:
If the slaughter is for the dead or for the grave, then it is major shirk. But if the slaughter is for Allah the Exalted, yet he believes that this place has a virtue, then it is minor shirk and a means of shirk, a means of shirk. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, O master of the heavens.

So this is a means of major shirk. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh.
