A Woman Greeting the Inhabitants of the Cemetery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the cemetery has no wall, is it permissible for a woman to stand beside it and greet the deceased?

Answer:
She does not stand on the grave or on the graves. Rather, she is at a distance, passing by on the road, and she greets them. She is passing by on the road and does not intend this. However, if she passes by on the road as a passerby and greets them while walking, there is no harm in that. Yes.

The presenter:
Yes,
