Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman to see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a book, where this suffices for her?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible?
The questioner:
Is it obligatory for women to visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), given that they are permitted to do so?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible, and they are not permitted to do so. They are only permitted to pray in the Rawdah. They are not permitted to go to the grave; they are prohibited from doing so. However, they are permitted to pray in the Rawdah only so that they may obtain the virtue.
The questioner:
Or should he raise his hands and face the grave, or face the direction of the Qiblah?
The Shaykh:
He places the grave between himself and the qiblah, raises his hands, and makes du'a'. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
