Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a man's father is buried outside the city where he lives. Is it permissible for him to travel to visit his father's grave and make du'a for him?
Answer:
No, one does not travel to visit a mosque other than the three mosques, nor does one travel to visit a grave, not the grave of one's parents, not the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), not the graves of the prophets, and not the graves of the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the righteous. One does not travel for the sake of visiting; rather, he makes du'a for his parents, he makes du'a for his father while he is in his place, and that is sufficient. Yes.
