Visiting the Graves of the Righteous at Night

Question

Is it permitted to visit a cemetery at night? And is there any difference when it comes to the graves of tzaddikim that are located inside a cemetery? I would like to go to the grave of R’ Moshe Gedalyahu of Zvill, which is in the Jerusalem cemetery.

Answer

Shalom,

It is permitted and possible to visit graves at night. 

This includes the graves of tzaddikim.
