The Time for Women to Visit Graves

Question:
Another question as well, may Allah preserve you. Is there a specific time for men to visit graves? Is there a time when visiting graves is prohibited? And what is the wisdom behind forbidding women from visiting graves?

Answer:
There is no specific time for visiting graves; rather, a person visits them on whatever day is convenient for him. As for women, visiting graves is forbidden. This is due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding those who built mosques and decorations over them. The wisdom behind this, and Allah knows best, is the weakness of women in enduring patience when they see the grave of a relative or a loved one; they may be overcome by distress and complain about the decree of Allah and His destiny regarding their death. Also, a woman is a source of temptation and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation); if she goes to the cemetery alone, the wicked may take advantage of her, and harms may occur. Yes.
