Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q550: The questioner says: What is the manner of greeting the deceased when passing by the cemetery, and what is the prescribed supplication, and does this also include women?
A550: When passing by, both men and women make the supplication, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so, saying:Sahih Muslim 249a This is for passing by. As for visiting the cemetery and passing through it, this is not done except by men; due to his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): Jami` at-Tirmidhi 320Da'if (Darussalam) .
A550: When passing by, both men and women make the supplication, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do so, saying:
Peace be upon you! The abode of the believing people and we, if God so wills, are about to join you. I love to see my brothers.
السلام عليكم دار قوم مؤمنين وإنا إن شاء الله بكم لاحقون، وددت أنا قد رأينا إخوانناAllah's Messenger cursed the women who visit the graves, and those who use them as Masajid and put torches on them.
لعن الله زائرات القبور والمتخذين عليها المساجد والسرج
