The Ruling on Visiting the Graves of the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (may Allah preserve him) says: There are some gatherings held at places attributed to certain Companions. Is it prescribed to visit them?
Answer:
Yes, indeed. It is prescribed to visit the graves of Muslims to supplicate for them and to greet them with peace, not to seek blessing from them or to ask them for needs. No, that is shirk (associating partners with Allah). But they are visited for the sake of greeting them, supplicating for them, and sending blessings upon them. This is a sunnah (recommended practice). Yes.
