Is there any virtue in visiting graves on Friday over the other days?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is there any virtue in visiting graves on Friday over the other days, O honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh : I am not aware of any sunnah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that singles out Friday for visiting the cemetery, nor does he single out the day of Eid for visiting the cemetery.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to designate a specific day for visiting graves. Rather, visiting graves is recommended at all times, whether night or day, in any month and on any day. Singling out a specific day for the visit has no basis in the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : May Allah reward you. This is a female listener from Syria who did not mention her name, O honorable Shaykh. She says: To the scholars in the program Nur 'ala al-Darb, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : Peace and mercy and blessings of Allah be upon you.
