Which is better: visiting the graves of one’s parents or making du'a for them?

Question:
Abu Abd al-Rahman from Abha, please, my brother Abu Abd al-Rahman. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace and Allah’s mercy. How are you, Shaykh? May Allah preserve you. Welcome. My father and mother, may Allah forgive them, have passed away, of course, and I do not know whether... and I do not know regarding visiting them, visiting the grave, I mean, is that the better option, or is it sufficient to just make du'a? May Allah preserve you. And if visiting is better, what is the correct way to visit?

Answer:
Both matters are prescribed: it is prescribed to make du'a for them and to do so frequently, along with making du'a for yourself. It is also prescribed to visit their graves and to greet them with salam and make du'a for them, but only if it does not involve travel. If the graves are in the town, you go to them from time to time. However, if visiting the graves requires travel, that is not permissible. Yes.
