Question:
The Shaykh asked, “What do you say, may Allah preserve you, about the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas in the two SahihsSunan Ibn Majah 1577Sahih (Darussalam)? How do you reconcile it with the hadiths prohibiting women from visiting graves?”
Answer:
There is no contradiction in that; the hadith of Umm ‘Aqil and the hadiths you heard are one and the same, because she said, “We were forbidden from visiting graves.” It is one of the hadiths of prohibition. As for her saying, “and we were not compelled in this,” that is an understanding she (may Allah be pleased with her) arrived at. This is the understanding she (may Allah be pleased with her) reached. Otherwise, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did compel the women and forbade them from visiting graves. This is merely her understanding (may Allah be pleased with her). Yes.
