Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: I visit my father’s grave frequently, and sometimes almost daily. Is this considered the excessive visiting that is prohibited?
Answer:
Yes, the repetition is not permissible if it is almost daily, meaning once a week or once a month. But frequent repetition and going back and forth is not allowed. However, you should make du'a for your father, my brother. If you want to benefit your father, make du'a for him in any place, after the prayer, during the prayer, while you are walking. You do not have to do it by visiting the grave. Yes.
