Is it permissible for us to visit graves while fasting?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no impediment to visiting graves while fasting, due to the general nature of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) statement: "Indeed, visit them." And nothing has come to specify that to a particular time over another. The hadith of Abu Hurairah indicates the virtuous deeds performed by Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) on a single day while he was fasting, and his entry into Paradise thereby.
