Do not lose hope, however. Have courage, focus on the mercy of Allah and keep this ḥadīth in mind, ‘Wisdom is the lost treasure of the true believer.’^[1]

Yes, try your best to use wisdom, and put together strategies to have both estranged parties reconcile with one another. Also ensure nobody has their rights infringed in this process. If you accept what one party has to say, you might be forced to cut ties with another, which is ḥarām and totally impermissible. You must be wise and tactful when having two parties make up with one another.

Remember, sharia does not allow us to act upon an order which leads to us disobeying Allah, as explained to us by the Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم : لَا طَاعَةَلِمَخْلُوقٍ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ الْخَالِقِ - ‘There is no obedience to creation if it entails disobedience to the Creator.’^[2]

Sunnah and etiquette of visiting  a graveyard

When mentioning the visiting of graves, the final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم once beautifully said: “I would forbid you from visiting graves, but you should now visit them. They certainly decrease fondness for the world and remind of the hereafter.” ^[3]

*   If one intends to visit the grave of a Muslim (or the shrine of a saint), it is liked (mustaḥab) for him to offer two units of voluntary salāh in
