Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says regarding the visiting of graves: some people designate a day of the week for visiting the cemeteries and accompanying the funeral processions.
Answer:
There is no evidence for designating a specific day; this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Visiting graves is open on all days, as far as one is able, and praying for the deceased is likewise open on all days, as far as one is able.
