Clarification of the Prohibition Against Excessive Visitation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Al-Nasa'i reported: The prohibition against excessive visitation,
The Shaykh:
This has one side with visitors and another side with female visitors, covering both few and many, and fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) occurs. As for female visitors, there is no [prohibition] for them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited without exaggeration.
The questioner:
Tunis.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
This chapter, O Shaykh, in the issues, this chapter says that it means he exceeded the visitation.
The Shaykh:
In Hajj, a female visitor.
The questioner:
No, in this chapter, no one visits you.
The Shaykh:
Yes, and what is in it?
The questioner:
Does the hadith of the chapter mention the prohibition against excessive visitation?
The Shaykh:
The issues, this is an address to women, and their command is known in another chapter, and their command is known in the chapters of visitation. The intent is an address to everyone: do not make my grave an 'Eid (festival). It is not permissible for women to make it an 'Eid, even though they are prohibited from visitation. Excessive visitation is one thing, and making it an 'Eid—its regularity or setting a specific time when they gather—is a means to ghuluw (exaggeration). These are the general hadiths, and when texts of cursing come regarding a female visitor with a more specific description, O Allah.
