Question:
Is it permissible for women to enter the graveyard to pray over the deceased, and then leave afterward?
Answer:
It is not permissible for women to enter the graveyards, neither for prayer, nor for visiting, nor for burying the deceased, nor for accompanying the funeral procession; this is not permissible. Pray over the funeral prayer outside the graveyard, in the mosque, and not in the house. If the funeral is in the house, you pray over it there, or in the mosque. As for entering the graveyard for the purpose of praying over the funeral, this is not permissible. So a woman does not enter the graveyard, neither as a visitor, nor as one accompanying the procession, nor for the sake of prayer. Yes.
