Does the utterance of La Illaha illa Allah benefit, while it is clearly being violated in the worship of other than Allah?
Question:
“May Allah be good to you. He says: Is the one who says that the graveworshippers are our brothers to be declared a disbeliever?”
Answer:
“If the graveworshippers have become brothers for the one who says this, then there is amongst the mushrikun of this worldly life none more disbelieving than him. Allah (The Mighty and Majestic) says:
{You (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم)} [Surah Al-Mujadilah 58:22]
And opposing Allah; the greatest and most hideous form thereof is ascribing partners to Allah. When the Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) was asked it was said to him: “Which sin is the greatest?” He said: “That you make someone (or something) equal (or rival) to Allah, while He has created you.”
From the words of Luqmaan (عليه السلم):
{Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great Zulm (wrong) indeed.} [Surah Luqmaan 31:13]
Those who worship the graves are not brothers for the Muslim. And if he takes them as brothers, then his religion is deficient. The matter is not a matter that they say “La Illaha illa Allah”. The mere utterance of “La Illaha illa Allah”, while clearly violating it in the worship of other than Him… then “La Illaha illa Allah” does not benefit.”
Shaykh Saalih bin Muhammad al-Luhaydaan, may Allah preserve him

السائل: أحسن الله إليكم ، يقول : هل يكفّر من يقول : إن عباد القبور إخواننا؟
الشيخ: إذا صار عباد القبور إخوانا لهذا القائل ، فما في مشركي الدنيا أكفر منه . الله يقول : ( لا تجد قوما يؤمنون بالله واليوم الآخر يوادون من حاد الله ورسوله )المجادلة/22
محادةُ الله أعلاها و أفظعها الشركُ بالله . النبيُّ صلى الله عليه و سلم لما سئل قيل له : أي الذنب أعظم ؟ قال:أن تجعل لله ندا و هو خلقك
من قول لقمان: إن الشرك لظلم عظيم
فالذين يعبدون القبور عبادة ليسوا إخوانا للمسلم . و إذا آخاهم فقد اختل دينه . فليست المسألة مسألة أنهم يقولون : لا إله إلا الله . مجرد قول لا إله إلا الله مع مخالفتها صراحة في عبادة غيره لا تنفع لا إله إلا الله
