Traveling to Pray Over a Deceased Person

Question:
O Shaykh, may Allah make you aware, what is the ruling regarding traveling to the sky of the Exalted, and traveling to the noble neighbor of the grave, and may Allah pray upon him and grant him peace.

Answer:
Whoever says that one should travel to pray over a deceased person, may Allah pray upon him, and that he should be in any place where one does not need to travel to pray over the deceased, one should make du'a for him and pray over him as an absent person, you pray over him, this is sufficient, praise be to Allah, without traveling, unless you are among his relatives who need you to attend his funeral or to handle his affairs, you travel for the sake of the need, as for the general Muslim brothers, it is sufficient that they make du'a for him, and that they seek forgiveness for him, and if he is prayed over as an absent person, no, or if one of them wants to pray over him as an absent person, no, no, it is not forbidden.
