Entering a graveyard does not invalidate Wudu’
Q: I heard that entering the graveyards nullifies Wudu', is this right? Answer me, may Allah reward you with the best!
A: Visiting graves is an act of Sunnah according to the saying of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “Visit the graves, for they remind you of the hereafter.” However, this does not confirm the permissibility of traveling to it, because of the Hadith of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Do not set out on a journey except to three Masjids (mosques): Al-Masjid Al-Haram, and this Masjid of mine (Al-Masjid Al-Nabawy in Madinah), and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa (Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem)." Entering graveyards does not invalidate Wudu' and this saying is groundless and has no foundation in the purified Shari’ah.
