Women Visiting Graves and Aisha Visiting Her Brother’s Grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner asks: What is the ruling on women visiting graves? And what is the answer to the report that Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) visited her brother’s grave?

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
He cursed the women who visit gravesلعن زوارات القبور
in one narration
He cursed the women who visit gravesلعن زائرات القبور
so it is not permissible for anyone, neither Aisha nor any other woman, but perhaps the hadith did not reach her (may Allah be pleased with her); the hadith did not reach her.
