The ruling on designating a specific day of the year for visiting graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is visiting graves on a specific day of the year considered a prescribed matter?

Answer:
No, this is an innovator’s act. I mean, if one designates a day for visiting graves, then this is a bid'ah (religious innovation). Graves are visited on any day that is convenient for you. Yes.
