The mentioned in the question: "Whoever visits the grave of his parents or one of them every Friday, he will be forgiven and recorded as dutiful"; it was narrated by Al-Tabarani and Al-Bayhaqi, but it is a fabricated hadith that is not authentically attributed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Sheikh Al-Albani and others have explicitly stated this.
Therefore, no legal ruling can be derived from it because it is a fabricated hadith.
