Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Some women visit the cemetery on Friday by standing at the cemetery gate to make supplication for their relatives. If someone rebukes them, they say, “We did not enter the cemetery.”
Answer:
It is not permissible; visiting is not permissible, whether one enters or stands at the gate. This action is not permissible, and she is cursed. If she intends the curse, she goes to death. If she intends mercy and obedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), this death is inevitable. If she wants to make supplication for her relative or for the Muslims, she should make supplication while she is in her house. She makes supplication while she is in her house, and the supplication is connected, and Allah accepts supplication in any place, and the deceased benefits from it in any place.
