Another questioner, Abu Muhammad from al-Qassim, says: I set aside Friday to visit my father's grave or one of them. Is this action valid? Because I heard the hadithMishkat al-Masabih 1768.
Answer:
We have not heard this hadith nor have we read it, but visiting the dead is prescribed, especially visiting the parents or relatives to supplicate for them, seek forgiveness for them, and take a lesson from the state of the dead. This visit is prescribed and is not restricted to a specific day, neither Friday nor any other day; this is according to circumstances and ability. Yes.
