Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to go to a grave in order to make du'a' for the owner of the grave, asking Allah to forgive him and have mercy on him?
Answer:
Yes, the result or fruit of visiting graves is nothing but making du'a' for the dead, because they are in need of du'a'. One makes du'a' for them, greets them, and makes du'a' for them, for they are in need of this.
