What is the reason for the prohibition of women visiting graves?

Question:
May Allah reward you. This person asks: What is the reason or the operative cause for the prohibition of women visiting graves?

Answer:
The reason for this is that women are weak. If she sees the grave of her father, her brother, or her son, she becomes distressed, cries, and complains. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by a woman at a grave who was crying, and he said, "O servant of Allah, be patient." She said, "Leave me alone, for you have not been afflicted with my affliction." When the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) left, they said to her, "This is the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." She regretted her words and came to apologize to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), saying, "Now I am patient." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is part of the wisdom in preventing her, because she becomes distressed when she sees the grave of her relative and her beloved, and she does not have patience.
There is another meaning also mentioned by the scholars, which is that the woman is exposed to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation). If she goes to the graveyards and mixes with the men, and the wicked see her, they may transgress against her, causing her harm, aggression, or annoyance from them. Therefore, the woman does not visit graveyards. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who visit graves, and in a narration, the women who visit graves and those who make mosques and lamps upon them. So he cursed this act, and the curse indicates that this act is a major sin. He also associated it with those who make mosques upon the graves, and they are cursed, as well as those who light lamps on the graves and illuminate them, because this is an advertisement for shirk (associating partners with Allah) and exaggeration regarding the graves. This indicates the prohibition of a woman visiting graves. If she has compassion for the deceased, she can make du'a' (supplication) for him while she is in her house, and Allah is near and responsive. She can give charity on his behalf, perform Hajj (the major pilgrimage) on his behalf, or perform 'Umrah (the lesser pilgrimage) on his behalf. So the door is open to benefit him, with the permission of Allah, without the visitation that has been prohibited. Yes.
