What is the ruling on a woman visiting the graves of martyrs?
The correct view is that it is not permissible for a woman to visit graves, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (cursed the women who visit graves) But if she passes by the cemetery without intending to stop and she stops and offers the greeting, there is nothing wrong with that,The Prohibited: that she goes out of her house with the intention of visiting the cemetery, whether it is the martyrs of Uhud or al-Baqi' or the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions, and some of the scholars have made an exception for the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions and said: These graves are now enclosed, meaning that they have walls, so the one standing outside the dome is not a visitor to the grave,The Stronger Position: that a woman does not visit graves in any case, not the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), nor al-Baqi', nor the martyrs, nor anyone else.
