Visiting the graves of the Awliya' and righteous people


A: Visiting graves for the purposes of receiving admonition and supplicating to Allah for the deceased is Mashru` (Islamically permissible), as the Prophet (peace be upon him) ordered us to do so for these purposes. But visiting the graves for Tabarruk (seeking blessings), beseeching for help and supplicating to the deceased instead of Allah is Haram, as this involves major Shirk (associating others with Allah in His Divinity or worship that takes the Muslim out of Islam), may Allah save us!As for reciting the Qur'an for the deceased people near their graves, this is not permissible just like offering Salah (Prayer) there.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
