Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My house is approximately two hundred meters from the cemetery, but it overlooks it. If I look at the cemetery from my house, should I greet the deceased with salam? And is it permissible for me to allow the women in my house to look at the cemetery and greet the deceased with salam?
Answer:
This is something that has not been reported. Greeting the deceased with salam is only in two cases: the case of visiting, or the case of passing by the cemeteries. As for looking at it from a distance and greeting them, this is something that has not been reported, and I do not know a basis for it. Yes, and Allah the Exalted knows best. May Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and companions.
