Question:
Do the dead know of the visit? And do they recognize who greeted them by name and person?
Answer:
Answer: Yes; they are pleased by it, they make du'a for the visitor, they benefit from his du'a, and they are reminded of the Hereafter. Thus, visiting graves, as prescribed by the Shari'ah, is beneficial for the living and beneficial for the dead. For the dead: they are prayed for, mercy is sought for them, and they find comfort in those who visit them. For the living: they benefit from the reward and recompense, and they are reminded of the Hereafter, which softens their hearts.
