Question:
I go to the cemetery after the 'Asr prayer and pray for the deceased who were buried after the Zuhr prayer, and sometimes for those buried after the Fajr prayer, or from the previous night or two nights ago. I have continued this daily, or for several consecutive days. Is my practice correct?
Answer:
It is valid, but it involves excessive effort. The Salaf did not do this. You should make du'a for the Muslim dead, even if you do not go to the graves; make du'a for the Muslim dead. Yes, and do not overexert yourself by going every day at Fajr and then going again, for it involves excessive effort, and this was not the practice of the Salaf.
