The Impermissibility Of Doing Tawaaf Around The Graves

TheAuthenticBase

Assalaamu 'alaykum!
Ibn Al-Hajj Al-Maalikee said:

“It is not permissible to make tawaaf around tombs as tawaaf is only to be made around the Ancient House (i.e. the Ka’ba). Likewise it is not legislated to kiss or give salutations to any place except the Ancient House, and likewise it is not legislated to kiss or give salutations to anything excpt the Black Stone.”
[Al-Madkhal - as noted in Al-Mushaahadaat Al-Ma'soomiyyah, p. 73]

Al-Aloosee Al-Hanafee said:

“I have seen those who allow what the ignorant do at the grave of the dead pious such as honoring graves, building tombstones over graves, lighting graves with candles, praying to graves, making tawaaf around graves, kissing them, gathering by the graves at specific times and other practices. All of that is opposition to Allaah and His Messenger (saw) and innovating in the Deen that which Allaah did not permit.

It would suffice you to know the truth by following what the companions of the Messenger did with his (saw) grave. His (saw) grave is the most virtuous grave on the face of the earth; therefore you should stop at what the companions did when they visited his grave and gave salutations.”
[Rooh Al-Ma'aanee, 15/239-240]

Ibn Hajar Al-Makkee Al-Haytamee said:

“The 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th and 19th major sin is to take graves as masjids, to place seats on them, to take them as idols, to make tawaaf around them and to pray to them.”
He also said:

Our companions (from the Shaafi’ee madhdhab) say: it is haraam to pray to te graves of the Prophets and awliyaa, such as praying on them, tabarruk (seeking blessings) and glorifying them. the status of this action is that it is a manifest major sin… Such as placing seats on graves out ofglorification, seeking blessings (tabarruk) from them and likewise making tawaaf around graves…”
[Az-Zawaajir 'An Iqtiraaf Al-Kabaa'ir, 1/195]

Ahmad Ibn Hajar Al-Bootaamee Ash-Shaafi’ee said:

“They are not to make… tawaaf around anything other than the Ancient House (Al-Ka’bah). It is not permissible to make vows to the Awliyaa or the righteous or to make tawaaf around graves, as the ignoramuses do around the graves of al-Jilaanee, Husayn, al-Badawee, ad-Dusooqee and others – so all of this is shirk and there is no dispute about this.”
[Tatherr Al-Janaan, Pp.31-32]
