The Place of Greeting the Inhabitants of the Graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is the greeting to the inhabitants of the graves done when passing by the graveyards, or when entering them?

Answer:
It is done in both cases. The one passing by greets them, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do; this is passing by, not a visit. And if he visits them and enters the graveyard, he also greets them.
