Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it from the Sunnah to visit the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) upon arriving from a journey? And if one leaves off the greeting to him and limits himself to greeting him in the prayer, is he considered to have left off a Sunnah?
Answer:
Greeting him is not obligatory. Greeting him at his grave is not obligatory. If he leaves it off, he has not left off an obligation. And if he does it, he has performed a Sunnah. Yes.
