The ruling on women visiting graves if they do not visit frequently
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the validity of the claim that it is permissible for women to visit graves as long as they do not do so frequently, on the grounds that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “May Allah curse the women who visit graves,” and that the word “visitors” (plural) implies frequency?
Answer:
The narration says, “O my brother, the women who visit graves,” and this explains “visitors.” The intended meaning is women who visit, even if only once. A woman is called a visitor even if she visits only once, so the curse includes her. Is it not permissible for women to visit graves? Yes.
