Question:
This questioner says regarding the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), “Do not make my grave a festival,” that he says: One of the scholars said, “Increase your visits to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and do not make it like a festival that is not visited except once a year.”
Answer:
This is a false and defective statement. This is the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger prohibited frequenting his grave, and this person says, “Do not leave it like a festival, once a year,” meaning it implies increasing the visits. This is contrary to the Sunnah. Yes.
