Overview
Ziyara is going to a person or place; customarily, seeking out the one visited to honour and keep company with him; its rulings differ with its causes, the one visited, and the visitor. 1
Visiting graves
Visiting Muslim graves is sunna for men without travel, on the report "I had forbidden you the visiting of graves — so visit them." 1
The Prophet's grave
Visiting his grave is among the most important devotions and best of recommended acts, quoted in al-Fath al-Qadir from Farsi's Manasik and Sharh al-Mukhtar as near to obligatory; and the report "whoever visits my grave, my intercession is due for him." 1
