Is it prescribed for women to visit the martyrs of Uhud?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: We frequently see women visiting the martyrs of Uhud. Is it prescribed for them to do so, especially since the visit takes place from outside the cemetery wall?

Answer:
It is not permissible for women to visit graves, whether the graves of martyrs or others. This is not permissible. There is a hadith in which Allah cursed the women who visit graves. This includes the martyrs of Uhud and those who are not martyrs of Uhud.
