Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, does a woman, when visiting the Prophet’s Mosque (peace and blessings be upon him), have the right to go to his grave (peace and blessings be upon him), or is this among the things prohibited?
Answer:
Without a doubt, this is among the things prohibited. A woman is prohibited from visiting graves in general, whether the Prophet’s grave or the grave of anyone else. However, she prays and sends salutations upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) from her location. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5:1006 So there is no need for her to go there. She is prohibited from doing so, and in fact, she is cursed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed women who visit graves. Yes.
