The ruling on specifying a time for visiting graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there anything in the Sunnah indicating that visiting graves should be after the Fajr prayer on Friday and before the sun rises, and that this is among the best times?
Answer:
There is no basis for this. Graves are visited at whatever time is convenient, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not specify a time. He said, "Visit the graves, for they remind you of the Hereafter." He did not say, "Visit them after Fajr," or "on the day of the festival," or "on Friday." Who said that? Rather, he said, "Visit the graves," and he left it general. So, at whatever time is convenient for you, visit the graves in accordance with the Sunnah.
