Ruling on Designating a Specific Day for Visiting the Dead

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to designate a specific day on which I visit the deceased?

Answer:
This is not permissible. There is no evidence for designating a specific day. Graves are visited, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said and he did not designate a specific day. Rather, this is according to what is easy for a person, so he visits them on any day. As for saying it is on Friday or such-and-such a day, there is no evidence for that.
