The ruling on slaughtering at the grave seeking the face of Allah

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: What is the ruling on slaughtering at the grave with the intention of seeking the face of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He)?

Answer:
This slaughtering is a bid'ah (religious innovation), and its being at the grave is also evidence of a belief regarding the occupant of the grave. So this is not permissible; it is not permissible to slaughter at graves, nor to pray at graves. Rather, one greets the graves of the Muslims, makes du'a' (supplication) for them, and departs. One does not slaughter, does not pray, and does not give charity at them. Rather, it is merely greeting the deceased Muslims and making du'a' for them. Yes. So nothing is done at the graves. Yes.
