Conveying the Salam to the Deceased When Visiting the Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: When I go to the cemetery to visit my father's grave and greet him, my mother (may Allah preserve her) insists that I convey the salam to my father. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
Instead of that, she should make du'a for him. She should make du'a for him while she is in her place. It is not reported that the salam is conveyed to the deceased; this is not reported. But she should make du'a for him. Yes.
