The ruling on designating the day of 'Eid specifically for visiting graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says — or rather, he asks about designating the day of 'Eid specifically for visiting graves?
Answer:
Visiting graves for the sake of greeting the deceased Muslims and making du'a for them, and for the sake of taking a lesson and being admonished, is prescribed (mashru'). However, there is no specific day designated for it. You visit the graves whenever it is convenient for you, on any day. Designating the day of 'Eid or designating Friday for visiting graves has no evidence for it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Ibn Majah 1569Sahih (Darussalam) at the end, and he did not designate a specific day for visiting. So, on whatever day it is convenient for you, you visit the graves, whether it is the day of 'Eid or not, or Friday or not. All days are the same. Yes.
