Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Some have claimed that the hadith prohibiting women from visiting graves has been abrogated, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
I used to prohibit you from visiting graves, but now visit them.كنت قد نهيتكم عن زيارة القبور ألا فزوروها
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 14:141
.

Answer:
This address is directed to men, my brother. The prohibition specifies it:
I curse the women who visit graves,ألعن زوارات القبور،
This is a general statement that has been specified. Yes.
