Question

Is there anything special to do when visiting the graves of Sahaabah or Ambiyaa?

Answer

The Sunnat method of visiting all graves (i.e. making dua and reciting some portion of the Qur’aan and conveying the reward) should also be adopted when visiting the graves of the Sahaabah and Ambiyaa.
