Is it permissible for women to visit graves with a mahram?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for women to visit graves with a mahram, or at times spread out throughout the year?

Answer:
The discussion is about the mahram. The point is that it is not permissible for a woman to visit graves. If she travels to visit graves, the travel is forbidden; it is not said that if she has a mahram with her, it becomes permissible. No, it is not permissible. This is an invalid travel and is not allowed. Even for a man, it is not permissible to travel to visit graves. It is not permissible for a man to travel to visit a grave, because this is one of the means of shirk (associating partners with Allah).
