Question:
And may He bless you. Also, among the questions that reached us, this questioner says: How is the greeting to the inhabitants of the graves to be done?
Answer:
Greeting the dead is of two types. The first is a greeting specific to a particular deceased person; for this, one stands at his grave facing his face, greets him, and makes du'a' for him. The second type is greeting the graves in general; one greets them by facing them and saying what has been transmitted: “Peace be upon you, O inhabitants of the abode of the Muslims and the believers. Indeed, if Allah wills, we will be joining you. May Allah have mercy on those of us who have gone before and those who come after. We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you.” Yes.
