Question:
May Allah the Exalted reward you with good. Is visiting the al-Baqi' cemetery also part of the Sunnah?
Answer:
Yes, it is a recommended practice (sunnah) to visit graves in general. This includes the graves of martyrs and other Muslim graves. The graves of disbelievers are visited only for the sake of taking a lesson, and one does not make du'a' for them or seek forgiveness for them, but one visits them only for the sake of reflection and taking a lesson.
