Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on women visiting graves, especially in the Prophet's Mosque? And if a woman enters the Messenger of Allah's (peace and blessings be upon him) mosque, is she to greet him like a man, or not?
Answer:
Women visiting graves is prohibited according to the correct view. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) He linked women visiting graves to building mosques over them, which indicates that this is a major sin for women. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to visit graves, neither the graves of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor any others. She should suffice with praying in the Messenger of Allah's (peace and blessings be upon him) mosque. She prays and greets him in any place. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
