Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to travel to visit the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
It is not permissible to travel for the purpose of visiting graves, neither the grave of the Messenger nor any other, because this is something the Salaf did not do.
And the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Abd al-Razzaq 12:1062, do not travel, he said: Bulugh al-Maram 5:58, so one travels only to the three mosques. As for others, even among the mosques, one does not travel to them; for example, to pray in the mosque of Riyadh or the mosque of al-Qasim or the Umayyad Mosque in Sham, one does not travel for this purpose. If one does not travel to the mosques other than the three, how then does one travel to other places for the sake of worship, drawing near to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), neither to the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor to the grave of anyone else. Yes.

إنما تشد الرحال إلى ثلاثة مساجدOne should not undertake journeys except to three mosques: al-Masque al-Haram (in Makkah ), the Aqsa mosque, or this mosque (in Madinah).
لا تشد الرحال إلا إلى ثلاثة مساجد المسجد الحرام ومسجدي هذا والمسجد الأقصى
