Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1016/819=L/1430)

As per the Shariah, it is baseless to bow down head on graves and performing niyaz etc, rather these acts are unlawful and haram.

Ahlus Sunnah are those who follow the Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) and his Companions, especially the rightly guided Caliphs.
