The Ruling on Delaying the Visit to a Father's Grave and Making Supplication for Him

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Is delaying the visit to the father's grave considered undutifulness to parents? And is there a difference between making du'a for him at his grave, or in any other place?

Answer:
I mean visiting his grave. Visiting the grave of the deceased, whether it is the father or someone else, is recommended. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Visit the graves, for they remind you of the Hereafter." And in it is du'a for the deceased, which benefits the deceased through the du'a.
And it benefits the living through reflection and taking a lesson. This is the visit to the father and others, and it has no specific time. If you do not visit him, this is not considered undutifulness to parents; this is not considered undutifulness to parents. And you make du'a for him in any place. The du'a reaches him and is accepted if it is sincere du'a and prescribed du'a; it is accepted in any place, even if you do not visit your father. Make du'a for him while you are in any place. And if you do not visit him, this is not considered undutifulness to parents. Yes.
