Is it ok to kiss my son’s grave? What Quranic Ayah or dua can I recite to ask Allah for a child?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
My son (our only child) was 4 months old when he died and whenever I visit his grave I kiss his grave with love. And I usually kiss on the name of my child written on the grave. Is it ok for me to kiss the grave of my son? And can my son feel my presence in the grave whenever I visit his grave? And now we have no children from at least 1 year so please tell any Quranic Ayah or dua so that Allah gives us the gift of children.

(Fatwa: 573/484/B=1433)

Each father loves his only child but it does not mean that you kiss his grave after his death. It is not lawful to kiss the grave. It is useless, to fall in the doubt that the dead one feels our presence or not by going near the grave. You should visit the graveyard for your reformation i.e. remembrance of death and the concern of hereafter. When you go there pay salam and recite verses of the holy Quran whatever you like and do isal-e-sawab and supplicate Allah the Almighty that your child becomes an asset for you in hereafter. In order to have children in future keep on reciting the following dua extensively:
رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْداً وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ
