Question:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on designating a specific day each month to visit the grave of a relative to offer greetings to him?
Answer:
It is not permissible to designate a specific day; that is a bid'ah (religious innovation). However, one may visit once a week, for example, or on any day other than a specific one, without designating a particular day. He should visit whenever it is convenient for him.
