Question

What is the status of gatherings of Ulama at the graveside of a Buzrug and making collective dua which are recorded?

Answer

The gatherings at the graves of the Ulama are bid'ah and not permissible. However, individuals may go and make Dua, but the customary practices and gatherings are not permissible. The recordings aggravate the evil customs. Furthermore, do not visit such dargahs (graves of Auliya) where bid'ah is practised. Whoever wishes to make dua for the deceased Buzrug may do so from his home or from anywhere else. There is no incumbency to visit a dargah.
