Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on a woman entering the cemetery, but she is inside a car? Is this permissible?

Answer:
She enters the cemetery. It is not permissible for a woman to enter the cemetery, neither by car nor by any other means. It is not permissible for a woman to enter the cemetery. However, if she passes by behind the wall along the street in a car and offers a general salam to the deceased, there is no harm in that. What is forbidden is visiting, and she did not visit. She passed by and greeted them from behind the wall, and she was just passing through, so there is no harm in that. Yes.
