Question:
His other question says: What is the ruling on visiting graveyards, reciting al-Fatihah, and women visiting graveyards?
Answer:
Visiting graves for the sake of taking heed, learning a lesson, and making du'a for the deceased is prescribed. As for reciting al-Fatihah, it is a bid'ah (religious innovation); there is no report that al-Fatihah is recited during the visit or at the graves, nor any part of the Qur'an. As for women, it is haram (forbidden) for them to visit graves. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “May Allah curse the women who visit Jami` at-Tirmidhi 320Da'if (Darussalam),” and in another narration: Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:291. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to visit the cemetery. However, she should make du'a for her relatives without visiting, and she should also make du'a for the Muslims without visiting their graves. Yes.
