Question:
The second question, O Bashir. The second question, Honorable Shaykh, regarding the greeting of the deceased: is it said when we enter the graveyard if I am with only my children, or when we exit, or when we pass by it?
Answer:
If you go to the graveyard to greet one of your relatives or one of the Muslims, then when you enter, you greet the deceased in general by saying:Sahih Muslim 974a Then you go to the grave you want and greet its owner just as you greet a living person: "Peace be upon you, O so-and-so, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings." Then you stand and supplicate for him with whatever supplication is easy for you, and then you leave. As for if you pass by the graveyard on your way, you turn your face toward it and say this supplication that we mentioned for you. Yes.
