The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who visit graves

Question:
Is it permissible for women to visit graves solely for the purpose of visiting and greeting the people who preceded them, without weeping over them? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.

Answer:
Visiting graves is not permissible for women. They should only pray for the deceased along with the people, provided there is no contradiction. Praying for the deceased is permissible. The women used to pray for the deceased with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). However, visiting graves is prohibited for women; it is not permissible for women to visit graves because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who visit graves. He said: Therefore, visiting is not permissible for them. However, they should make du'a for their deceased in the home, on the road, and in every place. Du'a is required, but visiting graves is not. Yes.
