It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) initially forbade visiting graveyards, using specific utensils, and keeping the meat of sacrificial animals for more than three days. Afterwards, he said: "Previously, I forbade you from visiting graveyards, now I permit you, so visit the graveyards, for it reminds one of the Hereafter. I also forbade you from using specific utensils, now you may use them for drinking, but avoid intoxicating things. And I forbade you from keeping the meat of sacrificial animals for more than three days, now you are permitted to keep it for as long as you wish."
