The questioner : He says: Is it permissible for a woman who comes to Madinah for a need or for 'Umrah to visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or is it not?
The Shaykh : She should not visit the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because her visiting the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is not a necessity. Indeed, if a person sends greetings to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), even if he is in the farthest east or west, his greeting reaches him. So there is no necessity for her to stand at his grave to send greetings to him. Furthermore, many scholars say that if she visits the grave of the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him), she falls under the curse, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So she should not visit the grave of the Messenger (may Allah's prayer and peace be upon him). It is sufficient for her to send greetings to him while she is in the Prophet's Mosque, or in her house, or in any place. Yes.
