The answer

The hadith "Whoever visits me, and visits my father Abraham and Yunus in one year, will enter Paradise" has not been reported. What has been reported is: "Whoever visits me and visits my father Abraham in one year will enter Paradise," and this is a fabricated, موضوع (forged) hadith. There is no evidence for the definite location of any prophet's grave other than our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). It is permissible to visit the grave of Yunus (peace be upon him) if its location is known and the visit adheres to the Sharia regulations.
