Women Standing at the Fence of al-Baqi' to Make Supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Sometimes when we pass by the al-Baqi' cemetery, we find women standing at the cemetery fence, which is a mesh through which the graves are visible. He says: Those women are standing at this mesh, and some of them have raised their hands in supplication. Is this considered a visit?
The Shaykh:
Is this what?
The questioner:
Is this considered a visit?
The Shaykh:
It is a visit, yes. She visited the graves and stood there, so this is a visit. She has achieved the visit, but this is not her right. However, if she passes by on the street, passes by on the street, and supplicates for the dead and greets them while she is on the street, she has not visited; rather, this is passing by, if you pass by the cemeteries. So there is a difference between passing by and visiting. The one who stood at the mesh has visited. It is not permissible for her to do this. Yes.
