Visiting Graves in Islam

SUMMARY: Visiting graves is permissible in Islam.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah gave permission for visiting the graves.
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِسْطَامُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا التَّيَّاحِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ رَخَّصَ فِي زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Visit graves respectfully without excessive crying or wailing; recite prayers for mercy on behalf of deceased person's soul instead; avoid making supplications at grave directly .

EXPLANATIONS:
According to the hadith narrated by 'Aishah, visiting graves is permissible in Islam. This means that Muslims are allowed to visit the graves of their loved ones and pay respects to them. It is a way of remembering those who have passed away and showing gratitude for their lives. It also serves as a reminder of death and encourages people to live life with purpose and piety. Furthermore, it can be seen as an act of charity towards the deceased since it brings peace and comfort to their souls.

Visiting graves should be done with respect, humility, and moderation; one should not overdo it or make it into a ritualistic practice that goes against Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that we should not cry excessively or wail when visiting the grave but rather recite prayers for mercy on behalf of the deceased person's soul instead. Additionally, one should avoid making supplications at the grave directly since this is considered shirk or associating partners with Allah which is strictly forbidden in Islam.
