A veiled woman visiting graves with the intention of remembering the Hereafter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He also says: If a woman visits the graves while she is veiled and adhering to the Shari'ah, and her intention is to remember the Hereafter, is that permissible?
The Shaykh:
He issued.
The questioner:
Remembering the Hereafter.
The Shaykh:
It is not permissible for her to do so, even if she is veiled, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed her. So how can she visit when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has cursed the one who does that? The righteous woman does not commit what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden, nor does she expose herself to the curse. She does not say, "I am a righteous woman, I am veiled, and I am remembering the Hereafter." Remembering the Hereafter is done in her home, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
