This questioner says: Is it permissible for women to go to visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and greet him specifically?
The Shaykh:
No, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade women from visiting graves. Allah cursed the women who visit graves. This includes his grave and other graves. So a woman does not go to greet the Messenger; rather, she prays and sends peace upon him while she is in the mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Wherever you are, your prayers reach me. The angels convey to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
