Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 540/540=L)

Chaadar poshi (covering grave with sheet) is innovation (bidaÂ’h) and thus unlawful:

تکرہ الستور علی القبور (شامی: 3/145، ط زکریا دیوبند)

There is nothing wrong in visiting to the graves of pious people, but one should go there according to sunnah and return after fatiha and isaal-e-sawab (conveying the reward). It is haram to invoke their mercy in ones needs.
