The Ruling on Visiting Graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Salih Sa'id Ahmad from Bahrain, says: Our honorable Shaykh, do the dead feel the presence of those who visit them, and do they miss those who stop visiting them? What is the evidence for this? May Allah bless you.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I used to forbid you from visiting graves, but now visit them, for they remind one of the Hereafter.كنت نهيتكم عن زيارة القبور ألا فزوروها فإنها تذكر بالآخرة
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 14:141
So we visit them, holding fast to the Sunnah. As for asking what and what, that has no basis. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes, may Allah bless you.
