Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, is it permissible for a wife to visit the grave of her deceased husband and make du'a for him with her sisters?
Answer:
It is not permissible for women in general to visit graves, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. The fact that the visitation of graves by women was linked with building structures over graves and placing lamps on them indicates that this is a major sin among the major sins. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to visit graves, whether her husband's grave or that of a relative. Rather, she should make du'a for her deceased, making du'a for him without visiting, whether she is in her home or in any other place. Yes.
