Explanation of the Hadith of the Woman in the Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the hadith of Anas in the two Sahihs, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the woman who was in the grave, "All of Quraysh is [weeping for you], and be patient." This indicates that it is permissible to visit graves.
Answer:
Perhaps this was the time of the visit, because the hadith prohibiting the visit is a definitive text. Perhaps this was the time of the general permission. I am sitting for the 'Isha' prayer of the visit. What should I say when I visit a grave?
