Q:Do twelvers circumambulate the tombs of the imams in order to get virtues? What is Islam's view on asking favour from a dead Imam?
A: There is no need to circumambulate the tombs of Imams. Seeking favours is thru the living Imam of the time ( Olel -Amr/ Those who are given authority by Allah ONLY, Saheb Zaman/The master of time), with the only exception of Imam Ali, as he is the prince of the believers.
