A woman visiting her husband's grave and the wisdom behind the prohibition
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner says: Is it permissible for me to visit my husband in the cemetery and make du'a for him there? And what is the wisdom behind preventing a wife from visiting her husband's grave?
Answer:
She came with the answer; she knew that it is forbidden for a woman to visit graves, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “May Allah curse” in a narration Jami` at-Tirmidhi 320Da'if (Darussalam). A woman does not visit graves, not her husband’s grave or any other. In this hadith, if she wants to benefit her deceased husband, she should make du'a for him, give charity on his behalf, perform 'Umrah on his behalf, and perform Hajj on his behalf.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you and bless you.
