There is not one single grave upon the face of this earth that
contains sacredness or blessings, so those people who intentionally
head there in order to seek sacredness and blessings have already
fallen into the acts of bidfiah and shirk. Within Islām, there is no
authorized intentional travel to visit (with the purpose of fiibādah)
specific graves, such as those of walīys, kyais, ḥabib and others
with the intention of seeking sacredness and blessings and fiibādah
there. This matter is forbidden and not permitted within Islām,
because these deeds are bidfiah and shirk and a means leading to
shirk.

Masjidil Ḥarām and Masjidil Aqṣā”.

As for the courtesy of journeying to a grave, the Muslims are
advised to journey to the funerals of Muslims for saying salām and
making dufiā√ in order that their sins be forgiven and that they
receive mercy from Allāh .
