Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Is it permissible to cry at the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with crying if a person cries at the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or at the grave of one of his parents, or at any grave of the Muslims. There is nothing wrong with that. What is forbidden is wailing, raising the voice, and excessive grief. As for mere crying, it comes upon a person without his choice, so there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
