Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"The chapter on what has come regarding the severity of the ruling on one who worships Allah at the grave of a righteous man, so what if he worships him?"
Severity means strictness.
"On one who worships Allah at the grave of a righteous man", and that this is a forbidden matter in which the ruling is severe.
"So what if he worships him?" It becomes more severe, more severe, and greater. That is because the graves and burial places of the righteous, or of those below them among the Muslims, their people are in need of supplication. So they are visited to benefit them, not to benefit from them, except if one ... benefits from them by the reward obtained from visiting the grave. But this is not benefiting from them by their persons, but benefiting them by following the Sunnah in visiting the grave for the sake of taking a lesson. So the visit intended to benefit from the dead is an innovative visit, and the visit intended to benefit the dead and take a lesson from their state is a legislated visit.

The Shaykh : Umm Salamah was among those who emigrated with her husband to the land of Abyssinia. After the death of her husband Abu al-Salamah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) married her, and she informed him of what she had seen while he was in his death sickness, as in the authentic collections.
It also appears that these images were three-dimensional statues that were erected.
So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Sahih al-Bukhari 434 Who are those being referred to? The Christians of Abyssinia. And his saying: allows for the kasrah or fathah on the kaf. It has been mentioned to us previously that in the Arabic language, the kaf of address with the demonstrative pronoun comes in three ways:
The first way: that it be.
The student: agreeing with the one being referred to.
The Shaykh : No.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : ... by the indication ... .
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, no...
The student: for the one being addressed.
The Shaykh : For the one being addressed, good. And the second, O Walid?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : ... .
The student: What is the question?
The Shaykh : The question: We mentioned that in the Arabic language, the connected kaf of address with the demonstrative pronoun has three ways:
The first way: which Muhammad mentioned, is that it agrees with the one being addressed.
The second way: Who? Yes.
The student: The fathah absolutely.
The Shaykh : The fathah absolutely, yes. The third way, O Ismail Muhammad.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Who knows the third way?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : ... .
The student: Absolutely.
The Shaykh : Yes. Three ... the most famous is that it agrees with the one being addressed, then the fathah absolutely, then the fathah for the masculine and the kasrah for the feminine. And here we apply it to the rule.
Either we say: "Those" because he is addressing a woman, or we say: "Those." The kasrah is clear in its reason because it is addressing a woman, and the kaf for the female addressee is with a kasrah. But the reason for the fathah is considering the gender, meaning "Those, O addressee," and the word "addressee" is suitable for both male and female.
Severity means strictness.
"On one who worships Allah at the grave of a righteous man", and that this is a forbidden matter in which the ruling is severe.
"So what if he worships him?" It becomes more severe, more severe, and greater. That is because the graves and burial places of the righteous, or of those below them among the Muslims, their people are in need of supplication. So they are visited to benefit them, not to benefit from them, except if one ... benefits from them by the reward obtained from visiting the grave.

So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Those are the worst of creation
أولئك شرار الخلقIf any righteous pious man dies amongst them, they would build a place of worship at his grave
أولئك إذا مات فيهم الرجل الصالح أو العبد الصالح بنوا على قبره مسجدا أولئكThose
أولئكThe first way: that it be.
