The third question of Fatwa No. ( 8818 )
Q3: In Rajab, on the first day and the last day, they visit the cemetery. Is this permissible or not?
A3: It is not permissible to designate a specific day of the year, whether Friday, the first day of Rajab, or the last day, for visiting graves; because there is no evidence for that. Rather, it is prescribed to visit them whenever it is facilitated, without
designating a specific day for the visit; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1569Sahih (Darussalam) . And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
