Question:
I heard that entering graveyards invalidates the ablution. Is this correct? Please inform us. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Visiting graves is a recommended practice (sunnah) based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sunan Ibn Majah 1569Sahih (Darussalam), but one should not travel specifically for that purpose, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Bulugh al-Maram 5:58. Entering graveyards does not invalidate the ablution; rather, this is an invalid statement with no basis in the pure Shari'ah.
