The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, commanded visiting graves for admonition and remembering the Hereafter, as he said: "I had forbidden you from visiting graves, but now visit them, for in visiting them there is a reminder." If the child is discerning, there is no objection to him visiting graves. However, if he is not discerning, there is no need for that.
