There  are three   things

1. Dua     2.Wassela   3. Shirk

1. Dua

Almighty Allah               says:  
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمْ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ (غافر:

[40:60]

Your Lord has said, .Call Me, I will respond to you. Definitely those who show arrogance against worshipping Me shall enter Jahannam (Hell) with          disgrace.[Surah al-Ghafir, Verse 60]
The Almighty Allah states:

فَلَوْلاَ إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ بَأْسُنَا تَضَرَّعُوا وَلَكِنْ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمْ الشَّيْطَانُ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُون (الأنعام:

[6:43]

Why then, did they not supplicate in humility when a calamity from Us came upon them? Instead, their hearts were hardened and Satan adorned for them what they were doing. [Surah al-An'am, Verse 43]

It is narrated by Hadhrat Anas radhiallaahu anhu,

: «الدُّعَاءُ مُخُّ العِبَادَةِ»

‘Supplication is the essence of worship’ (Tirmidhi)

In another version, “Dua is Ibadah”

As dua is Ibadat (worship) and Ibadat can only be  done to Allah so making dua other than Allah is wrong and not permitted at all. There is no confusion over it, all scholars are agreed that Ibadat can be done only for Allah)Hazrat Rasoolullah SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam states that Almighty Allah        says:ظنِّ عبدي بي  أنا عندَ

I am as My servant thinks of Me. 

[Recorded in Bukhari (Hadith 7239), Muslim, Tirmidi, Nisa’i  and Ibn Maja on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah]
HADITH

 لَيْسَ شَيءٌ أكْرَمَ عَلَى اللهِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ

There is nothing nobler to Allah than Du‘a.

 [Recorded in Tirmidi, Ibn Maja, Ibn Habban and Hakim narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah.]

2. Wassela

Allah Most High says:

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَابْتَغُوا إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ (المائدة: 35

O you who believe, fear Allah and seek means of nearness to Him, and carry out Jihad in His way, so that you may succeed.” (Surah al-Ma’ida, V: 35)

(All Scholars agreed that waseela is permissible. Great Majority of Scholars permits four types of Waseelah, Some Some permit 3 types.)

Waseela has very clear support for permission from Quran and Hadith.

But................................
Doing Dua other than Allah, Doing Sajda to Graves..........Other Rituals at grave is nothing to do with waseelah, No scholar permit it

  

3. Shirk

Shirk is opposite to Islam.That is to make partner to Allah is shirk. Islam is for tawheed

وَإِذْ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ ِلأَبْنِهِ وَهُوَ يَعِظُهُ يَابُنَيَّ لاَ تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ (لقمان:

[31:13]

(Remember) when Luqman said to his son, while he was advising him, .My dear son, do not ascribe partners to Allah. Indeed, ascribing partners to Allah (shirk) is grave transgression..

i.e. only Allah has to be Worship, Only he is the creator sustainer and lord of everything, He has no partner and association in his names and attributes.

Making any association with Allah will become shirk. Shirk will not be Pardoned
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَمَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ افْتَرَى إِثْمًا عَظِيمًا (النساء: 48

[4:48]

Surely, Allah does not forgive that a partner is ascribed to Him, and He forgives anything short of that for whomsoever He wills. Whoever ascribes a partner to Allah commits a terrible sin. 

These are three things. 

Dont mix true waseelah with shirk........ 

Please dont mix them. 

Important Clarification

We are not here to prove the position of any particular group/Scholar. 

We will present Islamic Position based on Quarn Hadith as understood by Salafus Salehin.

Literal Meaning of Waseela

WASEELA or TAWASSUL (Arabic:توسل‎) literally meaning is seeking closeness. To make a request or supplicate through a means. WASEELA or TAWASSUL are used interchangeably for the same meaning.

The some other meaning of Waseelah that has been mentioned in ARABIC dictionary are Rasta (way),Zaria (Medium),Taqarrub hasil karne ka zaria (way for seeking closeness). Sometimes it is also translated as Intermediary or Intercession.

But the Islamic understanding of Wseela and Tawassul is not synonymous to these terms and their literal meaning.  Through Tawassul  Muslims seeks nearness to Allah and ask for acceptance for his dua to Allah.
