Visiting graves is recommended on this day according to some scholars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Among the characteristics of this day, which I mean the day of Jumu'ah, is that according to some scholars, it is recommended to visit graves on the day of Jumu'ah. However, this is not correct, for visiting graves is prescribed at all times: at night, in the day, on Jumu'ah, on Monday, on Tuesday, on Wednesday, at any time it is recommended to visit the graveyards. It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he visited al-Baqi' at night, may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him, and it is not specific to the day of Jumu'ah. We have previously mentioned that visiting graves has a great benefit, which is to remember...
The student: To remember the Hereafter.

The Shaykh : And in another wording...
The student: To remember the Hereafter.

The Shaykh : Yes, and in another wording in Muslim, all of it is in Muslim
For it reminds one of the Hereafter فإنها تذكر الآخرة
and in another wording...
The student: Death.

The Shaykh : Death, may Allah bless you.
For they remind one of death. فإنها تذكر الموت
The purpose of visiting graves is for a person to remember his state: that he is now on the surface of the earth, able to perform righteous deeds, and tomorrow he will be among those in the depths of the earth who are not able to perform righteous deeds. This is what we wanted to speak about regarding the day of Jumu'ah and what is related to the Jumu'ah prayer. We ask Allah the Exalted to grant us and you beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds. I have one remaining issue: do you want us to speak about what we heard in the recitation, or do you want us to speak about an important issue? Yes.
The student: Important.
