The Ruling on Women Visiting Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The poet says: How excellent is the choice of women, and how excellent is the choice of women. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was ignorant.
The Shaykh:
What is its ruling?
The questioner:
Oh, Lord.
The Shaykh:
The ruling on women visiting graves is forbidden, and it is one of the major sins, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): “May Allah curse the women who visit graves.” The curse implies that it is a major sin, refuge sought in Allah. Therefore, the woman is prohibited from visiting graves, whether the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or any other grave. The woman must adhere to the law of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and not contradict it. Some women go to visit graves or to visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and this is not permissible. Even if some scholars say it is permissible, that is a false statement. The correct view is that it is not permissible, and whoever says it is permissible is mistaken, because it contradicts the evidence.
The questioner:
And obeying Allah is greater.
The Shaykh:
We mentioned this because it is not permissible; it is not permissible for women to visit graves, whether the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or any other. Yes.
