The Ruling on Women Visiting Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Umm 'Atiyyah, is it not said that it is for the purpose of sanctification, based on a context that I understood or heard?
The Shaykh:
The original ruling in a prohibition is that it is forbidden; this is the default.
The presenter:
Thank you, and may Allah reward you, my dear.
The Shaykh:
Then the wisdom is apparent, yes.
The questioner:
In Sahih Muslim, she said:Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 651 I went to.
The Shaykh:
It is abrogated. It was abrogated. Initially, permission was given to everyone, men and women, to visit graves. Then the command for women was abrogated, and we were commanded not to visit; we were prohibited from visiting graves. The first prohibition was for everyone, then permission was given to everyone, then permission was given to men only, excluding women, to visit.
The questioner:
I ask Allah for you. In some countries, they allow women to visit graves. Do they consider them to be under a curse?
The Shaykh:
This is an argument, and they act based on that argument. Perhaps the Shaykh interpreted the hadith of 'A'ishah and issued a ruling for Muhammad.
The presenter:
Yes, and then the care.
The questioner:
It reaches you.
The Shaykh:
So this is the original hadith, the general hadith regarding the visiting of graves.
