The Chapter of Condolences and Grief During Calamities, Visiting Graves, Lamentation and Mourning Gatherings
وَ سَأَلَهُ سَمَاعَةُ بْنُ مِهْرَانَ: عَنْ زِيَارَةِ اَلْقُبُورِ وَ بِنَاءِ اَلْمَسَاجِدِ فِيهَا فَقَالَ «أَمَّا زِيَارَةُ اَلْقُبُورِ فَلاَ بَأْسَ بِهَا وَ لاَ يُبْنَى عِنْدَهَا مَسَاجِدُ.
Sama’a ibn Mehran asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام about visiting graves and building mosques around them. Imam عليه السلام replied: "There is no issue with visiting graves, but no mosques should be built around them."
