A psychological patient getting better after visiting domes

Q 4: When people in our country suffer from mental illness, they visit some shrines built on graves and claim they are cured. What is the ruling on this? A: If the case is as you mentioned, the disease that such people suffer from is only Satanic delusions and acts that afflict those whose `Aqidah (creed) is corrupted, and who are controlled by Satan. These people respond to Satan's whispers and visit the graves of the so called Awliya' (pious people) to be cured. Since this practice is Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship), Satan is pleased with them and stops his whisperings to them and thus they recover by the permission of Allah (Exalted be He). This is a trial for them by Allah (Exalted be He). We seek refuge in Allah (Exalted be He), His Power and Might from Satan's whispers, delusions, Fitnah (trial), and plots. On the other hand, Allah may cure a person coinciding with the latter's visit to a grave. Thus, they think that they recovered because of visiting the shrines which are built on the graves of Awliya'. Only Allah guides to the Right Path. (Part No. 1; Page No. 255
