Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: When visiting the al-Baqi' cemetery in the Prophet’s city, we see people from the Sufi paths and the Rafidah seeking blessing from the graves and making supplication there other than to Allah the Exalted. What is obligatory for us to do regarding that?
Answer:
It is obligatory that you advise them if they accept, or you report them to the responsible authorities. You write to the rulers, perhaps Allah will benefit through the means.
