Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: In some of our villages, after the festival prayer, the people go out to the graveyards to visit their dead. Is this practice prescribed?

Answer:
It has no basis. Specifying the visit for the day of the festival has no basis. The common people say that they go out to their graves, and that... No, this has no basis. All of this has no basis. Yes.
