โ€œWhere are the fasting people who were fasting with you in previous years? Where are those who witnessed the nights of Ramadan with you? Where are your parents, siblings, and friends?

โ€œAs for wiping the grave, praying beside it, going there for duโ€˜ฤโ€™, or making vows to it, believing the supplication there is better than elsewhere these are not from the religion of the Muslims. They are newly invented reprehensible innovations, which are branches of shirk.โ€

โ€œThe summary of Al-Furuโ€™ is that denying an attribute of Allah, confirmed by consensus, constitutes disbeliefโ€ฆ This includes:

โ€“ placing intermediaries between oneself and Allah, trusting in them, calling upon them, and seeking their aid.

The scholars unanimously agree on this. (That this is disbelief)โ€

The แธคanbalฤซ position is clear: the issue is not about tawassul in general, nor about visiting graves in general, but about the specific practice of directly addressing the Auliyฤโ€™ who have passed away, or calling on them from afar for aid by saying, “O Khawฤja, O Ghawth al-Aโ€˜แบ“am, madad.” While we could cite further statements from แธคanbalฤซ scholars such as Shaykh al-Islฤm Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn โ€˜Abd al-Hฤdฤซ, and Mur’ฤซ ibn Yลซsuf al-Karmฤซ, this suffices.
