Visiting the Cemetery by One Arriving in a Town

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: Does one who arrives in a town visit the cemetery located there upon his arrival?

Answer:
If he passes by it, he should greet the deceased, or greet the deceased. But if he has a small amount of time, or it is obligatory, or a little time, he goes to greet them. As for if he is not in the cemetery and has no relatives there, there is nothing indicating the answer. But if he passes by it, he should greet them, whether he stops and greets them, or he faces them with his face and greets them, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you
