Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is greeting the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) specific to men, or is it for both men and women? And does a woman go to the vicinity of the chamber to greet him (peace and blessings be upon him), or is it sufficient to greet him from any place in the mosque?
Answer:
A woman does not visit graves, neither the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor any other. His saying (peace and blessings be upon him), “May Allah curse the women who visit graves,” and the curse implies that women visiting graves is a major sin among the major sins. So do not encourage women to visit graves, neither the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) nor any other. But a woman prays and sends blessings upon the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in any place, and she is not prevented from praying in the Prophet’s Mosque; she receives the reward. She prays in the Prophet’s Mosque. As for going to the grave and greeting him, this is prohibited; it is not permissible, neither at the grave of the Messenger nor at any other. Yes.
