Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: I vowed that if I were blessed with a male child, I would go to the grave of al-Abbas every year and visit it. She says: I have been blessed with a child, so what is obligatory for me?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to go to the grave, whether it is al-Abbas’s or anyone else’s. She should praise Allah for this child, thank Allah, and raise him well, and she should not go to the graves. Yes.
