The Ruling on Women Visiting Graveyards

What is the ruling on women visiting graves? Is it permissible or forbidden? She says that she asked the imam of their mosque about visiting graves, and he said: It is permissible, but on the condition that the woman is accompanied by a mahram, such as a brother or a father?
Answer: The correct view is that it is not permissible for women to visit graves. What the one who issued you this fatwa said is a weak and weaker position, and the correct view is that it is not permissible, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who visit graves. Therefore, it is not permissible for a woman to visit graves, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the women who did so. Visiting graves is exclusively for men; this is what is obligatory. As for praying for the deceased, there is no harm; you may pray for the dead, and there is no harm in that. The women used to pray for the dead with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and there is no blame in this. Likewise, if the Muslims pray for an absent person, she may pray for the absent person if he is absent and the Muslims have prayed for him; because he is known for his knowledge and virtue, or because he is a ruler who reforms and benefits the Muslims, so the Muslims prayed for him because of what he did to benefit the Muslims and his fame for good. Just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for the Negus, the King of Abyssinia, when he was a Muslim who had helped the Muslims and protected them when they emigrated to him, supported them, and gave them shelter.
So if a famous scholar who benefits the Muslims dies, or a righteous ruler and a righteous king who benefits the Muslims, there is no harm in praying for him as an absent person, and the woman may pray for him with the people, or in her home if the Muslims have prayed for him as an absent person; there is no harm in her praying for him just as they do. But she should not pray for anyone whom the Muslims have not prayed for and for whom it has not been established in the Shari'ah that one should pray; because not every absent person is prayed for. Rather, one prays for the man who is famous for benefiting the Muslims, such as a ruler, a judge, a scholar, or the like. Yes.
