The reason for prohibiting women from visiting graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: This is Umm Ibrahim asking about the hadithSahih Ibn Hibban 11:291 Why was the woman prohibited from visiting graves? And what is the Sunnah regarding her?
Answer:
For two reasons. First, she becomes distressed when she sees the grave of a relative or her son; perhaps distress and dissatisfaction with his death will appear from her. The second reason is that this exposes her to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), where a sinful man might take advantage of this woman in the cemetery and harm her. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited women from visiting graves, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who visit graves, or the visitors of graves, and those who build mosques and lamps upon them. Yes.
