The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some graveyards have a fence through which the graves are visible, and women walk around the fence and see those graves. Is it permissible for them to greet the deceased and make du'a for them?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He says: Some graveyards have a fence through which the graves are visible, and women walk around the fence and see the graves. Is it permissible for them to greet the people of the graves and make du'a for them?
The Shaykh:
Yes, if one passes by the graves, whether a man or a woman, he greets them and makes du'a for them while passing by on foot. It is not a visit, but merely passing along the road, so he greets the dead and makes du'a for them.
