A Du`a' said after Tawaf involving Tawassul

A: This Du`a' denotes a great deal of ignorance, and whoever recites it will fall into serious trouble, for the Shirk and Bid`ah-related words included. Therefore, you should abandon this Du`a' or any similar invented Ad`iyah (plural of Du`a'). Moreover, it is impermissible to recite this Du`a' either after offering the Tawaf or visiting (the Prophet's Masjid) or any thing else. The Prophet (peace be upon him) taught his Ummah (nation) the etiquette of making Du`a', thereby blocking the means to Shirk and Bid`ah, and this surely suffices whoever Allah (Exalted be He) has guided to abide by the course of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and to adhere to the purified Shari`ah (Islamic Law). Yet, intercession was asked from the Messenger (peace be upon him) during his worldly life, and will also be requested on the Day of Resurrection when the believer will ask him to do so. However, doing this after his death or before resurrection is impermissible; rather it is an act of Shirk, and Allah knows best. (Part No. 2; Page No. 231) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
