Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The correspondent Abu Hamzah al-Khusuri says: Is it permissible for women to visit the grave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), even though the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said
May Allah curse the women who visit gravesلعن الله زائرات القبور
Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:291
or as he said?

Answer:
The correct view is that it is not permissible for women to visit graves in any case.
May Allah curse the women who visit gravesلعن الله زائرات القبور
Sahih Ibn Hibban 11:291
making them into mosques and placing lamps on them.
This is general for all graves, including the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the graves of his two companions, and other graves. The woman is prohibited from visiting graves in any case, but she may pray in the Prophet’s Mosque. Her prayer in the Prophet’s Mosque is like the prayer of a man in the Prophet’s Mosque; one prayer is worth a thousand prayers in any other mosque. Okay.
