Is it permissible, when debating the grave-worshippers, to say: Let us call upon the occupant of this grave to see if he will answer the supplication?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to use the method of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) when debating the grave-worshippers, such as saying: The occupant of this grave, in your claim, answers the supplication. Come, let us call upon him and see if he answers the supplication, and then ask him, O occupant of the grave, as a step down in the argument? Is this method permissible?

The Shaykh:
What is the like of the method of Ibrahim? Come, let us call upon the dead? No, this is not permissible.

The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I read for some of the scholars.

The Shaykh:
Did one of the scholars follow this path? No scholar followed this path, and our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not follow this path. This is not permissible. Yes, yes.
