The Ruling on the Lawful Visiting of Graves and the Intention to Visit a Specific Grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is the lawful visiting of graves performed? Is it permissible to intend to visit a specific grave, such as that of a father or grandfather? If it is permissible, what is said at his grave?

Answer:
Yes, the visit can be specific to a relative or a particular person, for whom you make du'a' (supplication) and send salam (peace). The visit can also be general to the graves, where you send salam to all the deceased collectively. It can be general and it can be specific. Yes.
