What is the ruling on women visiting the Prophet's grave?

Question:
The questioner says: I heard from some guides that it is categorically not permissible for women to visit the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I informed my wife and my mother, but they were not convinced by this. I ask for your guidance?

Answer:
Answer: Visiting graves, without making a special journey to do so, is a recommended practice (sunnah) for men, including the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). It is recommended for men to visit it in the prescribed manner, without making a special journey to it.
The prescribed visitation involves supplicating for the deceased for forgiveness and mercy, drawing a lesson and receiving admonition, and remembering death and what lies beyond it in terms of terrors, bliss, or punishment. If a man visits the graves of Muslims, he says: . If he visits the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the graves of his two companions, Abu Bakr and 'Umar, he offers the salam, sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and expresses satisfaction with Abu Bakr and 'Umar.
As for women, visiting graves in general, including the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), is not a recommended practice. Rather, it is not permissible for them to visit his grave (peace and blessings be upon him) or any other graves, based on what Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet . Al-Tirmidhi narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) . And it is established from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I used to forbid you from visiting graves, but now visit them."
This address is for men only, and the permission for them to visit does not include women, because this is restricted by the hadiths cursing women who visit graves, which came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) through multiple chains from more than one Companion. Also, it is not known that women visited graves in general, or the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), during the time of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. It is not known that women visited graves in general, or the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), from the Rightly Guided Caliphs and the rest of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them all). If it had been a recommended practice or permissible for them, it would have been widespread among them in the early days of Islam. But they refrained from visiting out of fear of being struck by the curse of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for women who visit graves. This indicates the continuation of the prohibition of visiting graves for them. The Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta.
