Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some cemeteries have an iron fence around them. If a woman stands at this fence and sees the graves, or stands and greets these graves from behind the fence, is she considered to be among those who visit the graves?

Answer:
Yes, if she intends to visit the grave and stands at its fence or its wall, she has visited it, and it is not permissible for her to visit it.
