What appears from the actions of the grave keepers or shrine keepers is that they invite people to visit the grave solely to collect money. Are they excused for this?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Some people have made the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) a type of trade.

The Shaykh : Trade?!

The questioner : Yes, a type of trade.

The Shaykh : Trade.

The questioner : Yes, indeed. They invite people to it and take money from them, especially those who come from abroad.

The Shaykh : These grave keepers.

The questioner : They invite people to visit the grave and take money from them...

The Shaykh : I mean, do you mean the grave keepers, those who stand around the grave?

The questioner : Yes, indeed... They invite them without any shame, openly.

The Shaykh : In any case, may Allah grant us well-being. May Allah guide them. They eat the people's wealth through falsehood and mislead the people.
