The answer

There is no harm in a Muslim greeting the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, at his grave, because of his saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "There is no one who greets me except that Allah returns my soul to me so that I may return his greeting," and because of his saying: "Whoever sends blessings upon me at my grave, I hear him." As for supplication, do not supplicate facing the grave, but rather after greeting, you should supplicate facing the , as the Companions used to do, and as Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah mentioned.
