The Ruling on Women Visiting Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, what is the definitive ruling on women visiting graves?
The Shaykh : They are the counterparts of men; this is the definitive ruling.
The questioner : So what is the prescribed visit for the men themselves?
The Shaykh : The prescribed visit for whom?
The questioner : For the men themselves.
The Shaykh : It is well known: it is greeting the dead with the prescribed greeting and taking a lesson from them. And Allah is sufficient for the believers in fighting.
The questioner : ... a specific grave, and it is said, "This is so-and-so, the son of so-and-so," and a group of people take it upon themselves to say, "Peace be upon ... so-and-so, peace be upon so-and-so."
The Shaykh : No, rather, it has no basis.
