THE URS (ANNIVERSARY ON THE DEPARTURE OF A SAINT)
Thus, for the reverence of the Friends of Allah(swt), it is preferred (Mustahab) to place sheets, etc. over their graves.
Under the ayat(9/18) .Allama Haqqi (ra)writes, “Building shelters over the graves of the Learned, Saints and Pious or placing sheets {ghilaafs), mantles and turbans on them are all permissible actions when establishing their respect amongst the masses is intended (so that they don’t hold them in contempt).” – Tafseer Roohul-Bayaan .
Tafseer Roohul-Bayaan also states, “Likewise, lighting lamps and candles near the graves of the Saints and pious in demonstration of their glory is permissible because there is a valid intention here. To make a vow of lighting candles and lamps near their graves to demonstrate their greatness is also permissible. Doing so should not be prohibited. Mishkaat states, “One night, when the Prophet(ﷺ)went to the graveyard to bury one of the deceased, he lit a lamp.” -Baabud-Dafn .The Hadith states, “Rasooullah(ﷺ)has cursed those who build Musjids on graves light lamps.” under the this ayat of Surah Tauba, Allama Ismail Haqqi (ra)writes, “Imam Ghazzali (ra)states in Ihyaa-ul-Uloorn that there are many preferable acts in our time which were prohibited in the era of the Sahaaba.”Roohul-Bayaan
It is Sunnah on every Muslim to wear good clothes and apply itr on the day of Eid. Why? It is so that people may be drawn towards meeting them. Around the Kaaba, a circle of lights that brightened even the Haram Sharif At the door of the Kaaba itself were four brightly lit lamps. noticed that there was more light at the Rauza of Rasooullah(ﷺ)then at the Holy Kaaba.
There is an expensive black Ghilaaf over the Holy Kaaba and a green mantle over the Rauza of the Holy Prophet(ﷺ). So if this is allowed, the mantles of the graves of the Auliya are as well.
The meaning of wastage (israaf) is spending money without any benefit attained.
With regards to sufficing, we submit that over our kurtas, we wear waistcoats and jubbas. These clothes may also be very expensive. However, only one kurta is sufficient (and with ordinary material at that). Is this wastage or not?
Whatever the Shariah has classified as Halaal is completely permissible. –7/32.
