The ruling on repeatedly visiting the Prophet's grave every time one enters the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: If a person enters the Prophet's Mosque and stays for days to pray in it, is it a recommended practice (sunnah) for him to go and visit the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions (may Allah be pleased with them) every time he enters the mosque, or is this a way of making his grave a festival?
Answer:
This is not part of the sunnah. Repeatedly visiting the grave is not part of the sunnah. You have not contradicted them in this matter. The first time, when the traveler arrives and prays, he greets the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), his two companions, and the Muslims among the poor in the cemetery of the martyrs. But going to the grave every time he enters to greet him, this is contrary to the sunnah. Is it not a deviation from the good practice of the sunnah? It is making his grave a festival, because a festival is what is repeated and returned to. So repeating the greeting every time he enters is making it a festival.
