Remaining etiquettes of visiting shrines

   ٭Whenever you visit a holy shrine, approach the blessed grave from       the feet side and stand in front of the face at a distance of at least       four feet and present greetings in a medium voice in this way:  اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيۡكَ يَا سَيِّدِيۡ وَرَحۡـمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهٗ, then recite Durood-e-Ghausiyyah 3 times, Surah Al-Fatihah once, Ayat-tul-Kursi once, Surah  Al-Ikhlas seven times, Durood-e-Ghausiyyah seven times, and if time permits, recite Surah Yaseen and Surah Al-Mulk as well, and then make Du’a in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ in the following way: ‘O Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Grant me the reward of this recitation according to your generosity, not according to my actions, and send it as a gift from me to this accepted person.’

Then make Du’a for any permissible desire you may have, presenting the blessed soul of that saint belong to the shrine, in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ as a Wasilah (intermediary). Then present your greetings again as above and return. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 9, pp. 522)

   ٭Visit a shrine for the pleasure of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ whilst taking care of the manners of visiting shrines.

   ٭ [When visiting a shrine] Keep yourself in the state of Wudu as much as possible.

   ٭Make Wudu when leaving for visiting a shrine and keep doing Zikr of Allah and reciting Salat upon the Holy Nabi صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.
