Women entering graveyards to attend burials

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Two days ago, after the Friday prayer, some women entered the Nasim cemetery in the city of Riyadh to attend the burial of one of their relatives. Some of those present objected to this. He asks: What is the guidance in a case like this?

Answer:
They are to be prevented, and they should go to the center of the Commission for Promoting Virtue and Prohibiting Vice. The Commission prevents women from entering graveyards.
