Visiting The Graveyard On Friday An The Day Of Eid
Question
Is it Sunnah to vist the graveyard on the day of Eid or on the day of Jumuah?
Answer
According to the Kitaabs of Fiqh, it is preferable that a person visits the graveyard once a week. It is best to do so on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Monday.
We did not find any narration stating that it is Sunnah to visit the Qabrastaan particularly on Friday and on the day of Eid.
