What is the ruling on traveling to graves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : What is the legal ruling on traveling to graves?

The Shaykh : And the worst of places are markets. So, if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade traveling to a mosque, assuming this understanding, meaning if he forbade traveling except to one of the three mosques, then it is even more so that traveling to a grave that has no virtue or distinction is forbidden, because there is no doubt that the mosques are the best of places, due to the generality of his (peace be upon him) statement. So, if he forbade traveling to mosques, which are the best of places, except for the three mosques, then forbidding traveling to any shrine or grave is even more so. Here we can say that the correctness of the reasoning meets the correctness of the report, and there is no knowledge for anyone beyond that.
Al-Halabi : Shaykh, excuse me, it is the same issue, but I think our brother might understand the issue differently, because the scholars of Saudi Arabia do not say...

The Shaykh : No, the truth is that I have accustomed myself to return to the fact that in the end, how is this?
Al-Halabi : They also say it is permissible...

The Shaykh : Okay, now in order to clarify the issue, did you hear the word from beginning to end?

The questioner : I forgot.

The Shaykh : That is it.

The questioner : They bring distinguished, well-known scholars, Ibn Baz and al-Uthaymeen.

Another questioner : By Allah, many times they bring distinguished scholars, they sit, maybe like this, maybe like this.

The questioner : Ibn Uthaymeen and Ibn Baz give an answer, and Salih al-Fawzan gives an answer.
Al-Halabi : By Allah, we benefited from your meeting.
