چکیده:
Wahhabism's influence from the thoughts of Ibn Taymiyyah has paved the way for many criticisms, objections, and accusations against Shiites. One of the raised objections is the building of sanctuaries, constructing tombs, and treating the graves of divine saints as shrines. Wahhabis consider these behaviors forbidden and polytheistic, believing that these matters are among the innovations of Shiites that have no place in Islamic beliefs, rulings, and the continuous practice of the general Muslim population. Accusations of polytheistic behavior are being attributed to the followers of the Ahl al-Bayt school, while in the Holy Quran and the continuous practice of Muslims from the beginning of Islam until now, the legitimacy—and even the preference—of building sanctuaries and tombs over the graves of the righteous and treating those sanctuaries as shrines, and performing prayer and worship in those places, has been confirmed; many Sahaba, Tabi'un, and Sunni scholars have visited the graves of the Prophet of Islam and the Shia Imams and religious leaders, seeking their intercession and engaging in worship and supplication to God alongside their shrines. The manner of behavior of the Sahaba, Tabi'un, and other Muslims toward the graves of divine saints throughout history is a strong argument against the baseless claims of the Wahhabis.

The accusation of polytheistic behavior is continuously attributed to the followers of the school of Ahl al-Bayt^, while in the Holy Quran and the continuous practice of Muslims, from the beginning of Islam until now, the legitimacy, and even the preference, of building sanctuaries and shrines over the graves of the righteous and designating those sanctuaries as holy sites, and performing prayer and worship in those places, has been confirmed; many Companions, Successors (Tabi'un), and Sunni scholars have visited the graves of the Prophet of Islam| and the Shia Imams^ and religious leaders, seeking their intercession (Tawassul) and engaging in worship and supplication to God alongside their shrines.
In this writing, by critically examining the arguments of the Wahhabis and presenting various religious proofs, we will demonstrate that building sanctuaries over the graves of the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt^ and other divine saints is not only permissible (Mubah), but from a religious perspective, is considered a recommended (Mustahabb) and praiseworthy (Mustahsan) behavior.
The conclusion is that if the meaning of "raising" in "an turfa'a" is the outward construction, then the verse explicitly indicates the permissibility, and indeed the recommendation, of building a shrine and temple over the houses of prophets and saints; especially considering that the burial site of the Noble Prophet| and a number of Imams^ was in their houses; however, if the meaning of "raising" in "an turfa'a" is not specifically outward raising, then the application of the verse regarding "an turfa'a" includes any kind of elevation and loftiness, whether material or spiritual elevation.
