Summary
The article states that visiting graves is recommended at any time, and although no text specifically mentions Eid morning, the general encouragement in the hadiths covers it. Visiting graves on Eid morning is therefore considered recommended. In the Shafi'i school it is recommended for men and disliked for women, while the Hanafi school also recommends it for women if it does not lead to grief and wailing beyond the norm. Some scholars also encourage visits at blessed times, including the two Eids.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ziarah kubur hukumnya adalah sunat untuk menziarahinya pada bila-bila masa tanpa ditetapkan waktu atau hari-hari tertentu.
