Is their any Islamic law that prevents pregnant women from visiting graveyards?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

No, we do not have such rule preventing pregnant woman from visiting graveyards.

Wassalam.
When is it best to visit graveyards and what are the specific du'a and 'aamal one should do there?
Mustafa Jaffer

Seyyid Ibn Tawus in Misbah Al-Zair says the best day to visit the dead is Thursday, but if you cannot do it on a Thursday, do it on any day you can.

Upon reaching a grave of believer, face qibla and place your hand on the grave. Then recite Surat Inna Anzalna (Al-Qadr) seven times, Al-Hamd. Al-Tawheed, Al-Falaq, An-Naas and Ayatul Kursi. When a person recites Suratul Qadr for a dead Momin seven times, Allah creates an angel to sit beside the dead person and protect the dead person from all afflictions until the day of judgement.
