The Ruling on Visiting Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Members of the guardians, and witnesses that the visitation of matters for a person is based on the visitation of the days of guardianship, such as seeking blessing and the jinn. As for if the visitation of the fitrah (innate natural disposition) is in the wake of the Hereafter, there is no power and no harm. And the question is if the visitation of a person exists on one side.
Answer:
These are not researchers as the questioner said. They are not researchers. Research is in conformity with the Sunnah; that is the research. And this statement is contrary to the Sunnah. The Messenger did not specify what he said, "If the visitation is for such and such." This is an explanation from his own mind. He, the Messenger, generalized and said, "May Allah curse the women who visit the graves," and in another narration, "May Allah curse the men who visit the graves." And he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not make an exception. It is not correct for someone to come and philosophize and give something from his own mind and call it research. Yes.
