I think the fatawa are translated by second or third parties since Sh. Salih al-Munajjid gives fatawa in Arabic. If there are issues in understanding of the fatwa in English, it may be the fault with the translator and not with the actual verdict given by Sh. Salih.

One of the biggest problems with Islam-QA is that even though it may offer the opinion of one or more madhahib on some issues, the text does a complete 180 and says something along the lines of, "...but the correct opinion is," suggesting that the opinion of the madhhab is wrong and the conclusion reached by either Sh. Salih himself or by Sh. bin Baaz, ibn Uthaymeen, or ibn Taymiyah رحمهم الله is the "correct" opinion.

Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Umar (radhiyallu 'anhuma) didn't see a problem with calling upon the dead either in the narration

عن عبد الرحمن بن سعد قال: خدرت رجل ابن عمر فقال له رجل: اذكر أحب الناس إليك فقال: يا محمد

Abdur Rahman ibn Sa’d narrates Ibn Umar (radhiyallahu 'anhum) had numbness in his leg, whereupon a man said to him, "Remember the most beloved of people to you", so he said, "Ya Muhammad". [Imam al Bukhari, Kitab ul Adab ul Mufrad, Hadith 964]

Imam 'Ali al Qari (rahimahullah) explains

كانه رضى الله تعالى عنه قصد به اظهار المحبة فى ضمن الاستغاثة

Ibn Umar (radhiyllahu 'anhuma) expressed his love in the form of "ISTIGHATHA" ['Ali al Qari: Sharh ash-Shifa (2/41)]
