Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What happens when you are at the cemetery gathering? Is it prescribed for a person to go to the limit of the grave, or is it sufficient to stand at the…

Answer:
It is sufficient to stop at the first of the graves. It is sufficient, and if you wish to visit the grave, you should seek help from Allah and greet him, and Allah is truthful. Does the deceased know? No, it is not sufficient; visiting the graves is sufficient. Does the deceased know the visitor? In some hadiths, it was mentioned that he knew him in this world. He would greet him, and Allah would return his reward until he returned the greeting. If they wronged themselves, they would say, "It is enough," and they would seek forgiveness from Allah, and he would seek forgiveness for them. This was during his lifetime, may Allah have mercy on him. This was during his lifetime, yes.
