Visiting the graves on Friday
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a question with two parts. The first part is about visiting the graves on Friday and making du'a' for the deceased. The second part is that I was on the road to al-Sawda' and an animal ran in front of me, and I am not pleased with that, so I want to ask the Honorable Shaykh, may Allah prolong your life, and thank you. Thank you, may Allah bless you. Please, Shaykh.
Answer:
Visiting graves, my brother, if the intention is to greet the dead, pray for them, and take a lesson and be admonished by the state of the dead, then this is a legislated visit. It is not restricted to a specific day, neither Friday nor any other day. You may visit them whenever it is convenient for you, provided you visit them for this purpose. Yes.
