Question:
What is the ruling on designating Friday specifically for visiting graves?
Answer:
There is no basis for that, and it is prescribed to visit graves at any time that is convenient for the visitor, whether night or day. As for designating a specific day or a specific night, it is a religious innovation with no basis for it; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih Muslim 1718a, which is agreed upon as authentic, and due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Sahih Muslim 1718b, which Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her).

من أحدث في أمرنا هذا ما ليس منه فهو ردHe who did any act for which there is no sanction from our behalf, that is to be rejected.
من عمل عملاً ليس عليه أمرنا فهو رد
