Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman visiting al-Masjid al-Nabawi to go forward and visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and send salutations upon him?
Answer:
She visits the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has cursed those who visit graves. However, she prays and sends salutations upon him while in the mosque, in her place. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 5:1006 So she prays and sends salutations upon him while in al-Masjid al-Nabawi, or in any other mosque, even if it is at the farthest point of the earth. Yes.
