Is it permissible for a person to make du'a' for himself at the grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a person goes to visit the graves and remembers the Hereafter and the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he makes du'a' at the grave, saying, "O Allah, have mercy on me with Your mercy, and admit me to Paradise with Your mercy,"

Answer:
No, he does not make du'a' at the grave. He makes du'a' for the deceased only: "O Allah, forgive him," "O Allah, have mercy on him," "O Allah, accept his repentance." He makes du'a' for the deceased. If he wants to make du'a' for himself, let him find another place away from the graves. Yes.
