Visiting the cemetery in a country by the one who arrives there
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Does the one who arrives in a country visit the cemetery located there upon his arrival?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Does a person who arrives in a country visit the cemetery located there upon his arrival?
The Shaykh:
If he passes by it, he should greet the deceased. As for his specifically going there to greet them, if he has a relative there, such as a father or a close relative, he may go and greet him. But as for specifically going to the cemetery when he has no relatives there, we do not know of anything that indicates the ruling. However, if he passes by it, he should greet them, whether he stops and greets them, or he faces them with his face while walking and greets them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do.
