Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, a questioner asks: What is the ruling on women cleaning the graveyards?
Answer:
It is not permissible for women to visit graveyards, nor is it permissible for them to enter the graveyards; this is forbidden. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who visit graves, and in another wording, the women who visit graves and those who build mosques and hang lamps on them. It is not permissible for a woman to visit graves, not the grave of a relative or anyone else. However, she should make du'a (supplication) for her relatives or for the deceased Muslims while she is in her home or in her place, and she should not go to the graveyards. Yes.
