The Benefit of Visiting Graves and Making Du'a for the Dead

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first question asks: Does visiting graves and making du'a for the dead benefit them?

Answer:
If Allah wills, this is a sunnah (recommended practice). Visiting them to greet them, making du'a for them, and taking a lesson and being admonished by the state of the dead—this is a confirmed sunnah. Yes.
