Is Lady Khadijah (may Allah be pleased with her) buried with her two sons in the Ma'ala cemetery?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is Lady Khadijah, the wife of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and her two sons buried in al-Ma'ala or in al-Baqi'?

Answer:
Khadijah is buried in al-Ma'ala (may Allah be pleased with her). As for whether any of her children were buried with her, I do not know that. She (may Allah be pleased with her) passed away before the Hijrah and was buried in al-Ma'ala. This does not mean that one should seek blessing from the cemetery or do what the ignorant or those with ill intentions do, such as calling upon the dead or seeking blessing from graves. Rather, it is visited to greet her, as with other graves: greeting her, making du'a' for her, and taking a lesson from the state of the dead. This is the Sharia-compliant visit to the grave of Khadijah and other graves. Yes.
