The Ruling on Women Visiting Graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable father, the questioner says: Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. He says: In the hadith
Allah's Messenger cursed the women who visit the gravesلعن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم زائرات القبور
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 320Da'if (Darussalam)
What is your opinion on this?

Answer:
There is no basis for what you have heard. No permission has been granted for women to visit the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and no permission will be granted, if Allah wills, because this is wrong. Is it not impermissible? Yes, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who visit graves. He cursed the women who visit graves, and this includes the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the graves of others. It is not permissible for women to visit graves, and it is not possible for them to be permitted to do so in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in a way that involves disobedience to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
