The Categories of Greeting the Graves and Its Form

Question:
The questioner asks: Shaykh, he says: regarding the greeting of the graves, what is its form? And if we pass by the cemetery, do we greet them, or is it necessary to enter it?

Answer:
Greeting the dead is of two types. The first is a specific greeting to a particular deceased person; for this, one stands at his grave facing his face, greets him, and makes du'a for him. The second type is greeting the graves in general; one greets them by facing them and saying what has been transmitted: "Peace be upon you, people of the Muslim and believing graves, and we, if Allah wills, will be joining you. May Allah have mercy on those of us who have gone before and those who come after. We ask Allah for well-being for us and for you." Yes.
