Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, the brother asks: What is the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in preventing women from visiting graves?
Answer:
It is because of their weakness; for they are weak. If she sees the grave of a relative or her son, her love for him and her grief may lead her to excessive wailing, complaining, and saying or doing things that are not pleasing. This is from one aspect. The second aspect is that she is an 'awrah (the part of the body that must be covered), and she is in fear of the wolves among men. If she goes to the graveyards, they may take advantage of her and use it as an opportunity. Therefore, to protect her, she is prevented from visiting graves. Yes.
