Qabr ki - Ziyarat or Zira'at?

[HASSAN]

In the different versions of Irfan e Shari'at, we see two different terms used.

In the first question of Chapter 3 about praying Salah towards a grave, some editions use the term Ziyarat whilst others use Zira'at.

In the old copy from Ridawi.org, Ziyarat is used:

In the digitised edition from alahazrat.net, Ziyarat is used:

I found a really old copy on Rekhta which uses Zira'at:

In other books which reference and quote this passage, Zira'at is used.

In 'Imam Ahmad Raza awr Radd e Bid'at o Munkirat':

In 'Bid'at key Khilaf Saw Fatwey':

 

[abu Hasan]

it is clear from the question itself that it should be zira'at.

any dictionary will tell you that zira'at زراعت = kheyti karna

in the question it is asked: 'masjid banana ya kheyti karna'

to which alahazrat has replied zira'at karna

====
besides, ziyarat cannot be used in this sentence thus: "qabron par masjid banana ya ziyarat waghayra karna haram"

no one does "qabr par ziyarat" as in the sentence - it should be "qabr ki ziyarat".

this and the fiqhi position of the imam concerning visiting graves (that it is permissible), and refutation of wahabi/devbandi opposition is well known.
