Question:
He also asks: Is visiting their graves and making du'a for them at the graves part of dutifulness to parents?
Answer:
Without a doubt, visiting graves is recommended for men for the purpose of making du'a for the deceased and drawing lessons and taking heed. Visiting the grave of a parent or a relative is more emphasized than visiting the grave of someone who is not a parent or relative, for the sake of sending salam upon them and making du'a for them. This is part of dutifulness to them, as it came in the hadith: “You pray for them,” meaning you make du'a for them.
