What do you say about a man who circumambulated a grave while saying that he circumambulated it intending to draw near to Allah through this circumambulation, and did not intend the occupant of the grave with this act of worship?

The Shaykh : What do you say about a man who circumambulated a grave while saying that he circumambulated it intending to draw near to Allah through this circumambulation, and did not intend the occupant of the grave with this act of worship? Do we say: that this is a major religious innovation because he worshipped Allah in a manner not prescribed and did not direct the worship to other than Allah, or do you say that he has fallen into shirk (associating partners with Allah) even though he did not direct the worship to other than Allah?
This is a mention by Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) that circumambulating graves and other things other than the Sacred House is a bid'ah (religious innovation) as long as he does not call upon the occupant of the grave; it is among the innovations, but it is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah), meaning it is feared that he will associate partners with Allah in the future.
