Visiting the Graves of Men and Women

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Salih Muhammad, says: Is there evidence for the permissibility of visiting graves for both men and women, or is it specific to men?

Answer:
It is specific to men. Visiting graves is specific to men. As for women, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited women from visiting graves. In the hadith, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
He cursed the women who visit graves, he cursed the women who visit graves, or the women who visitلعن زوارات القبور، لعن زوارات القبور أو زائرات
graves,القبور،
and the curse implies that this is a major sin among the major sins. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to visit graves. This is specific to men for the sake of taking a lesson, being admonished, and making du'a for the deceased. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
