Question

From what distance is it considered that one is visiting the graves of the righteous?

Answer

Within four cubits [2.4 meters], but if there are many people and because of this he cannot get closer, it is also considered, or if he is inside the tent over the grave, even if he is outside the four cubits, the entire tent is considered as visiting the grave.
