Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for me to set aside a specific day of the week to go to my grandfather’s grave to pray for him and make supplication for him?
Answer:
General prayer and supplication are fine, and there is no harm in that, and peace be upon you. However, do not set aside a specific day. There is no evidence for setting aside a specific day. Go on any day that is convenient for you, and do not go too often. Do not go back and forth too frequently. Yes.
