Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there any authentic evidence regarding the prohibition of visiting graves at night for men?
The Shaykh : No, nothing is authentic. Visiting graves is permissible at night and during the day, so a visitor may do so at any time he wishes, without specifying a particular time for the visit as some people do during certain seasons and festivals. This has no basis in the Sunnah. It is established that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) visited al-Baqi' at night. Therefore, there is no difference between day and night regarding the visit.
