Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding Allah’s (Glorified and Exalted is He) permission for His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to visit his mother’s grave, is this cited as evidence for the permissibility of visiting the graves of disbelievers? And if it is permissible, is there a specific supplication to recite upon entering them?
Answer:
Yes. Visiting graves is intended for two purposes. The first is to take heed and draw a lesson, and this is permissible even when visiting the graves of disbelievers; one remembers death. The second is making supplication for them, and this is specific to the believers; one makes supplication for the believers. Yes.
