The Shaykh : ... What? In the graves, you mean?
The correct view is that it is not permissible for a woman to visit graves, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) However, if she passes by the cemetery without intending to and stops to greet the deceased, there is no harm. What is prohibited is for her to leave her house with the specific intention of visiting the cemetery, whether it is the martyrs of Uhud, al-Baqi', or the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions. Some scholars have made an exception for the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his two companions, stating that these graves are currently enclosed, meaning they have walls, so one standing outside the dome is not considered a visitor to the grave. The stronger position is 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.
