Mistakes made on Eid

PART TWO: 2 – Visiting graves on the two Eid days. This is contrary to the purpose of Eid which is to express joy and happiness, and it goes against the teaching of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the actions of the salaf. It comes under the general meaning of the Prophet’s prohibition on visiting graves on a specific day and making that like a fe stival, as the scholars stated.
