Women visiting graves is a reprehensible act

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second paragraph—O Shaykh—says: Is it permissible for women to visit graves?

Answer:
No. It is not permissible; rather, it is a reprehensible act. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)
Cursed are the women who visit gravesلعن زائرات القبور
. Therefore, their visiting is not called an innovation, but if they intend to draw near to Allah through it, it becomes an innovation from this perspective. Otherwise, it is a sin; because it is falling into what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade. Women are forbidden from visiting graves; rather, they are cursed. So it is not permissible for them to visit graves. And if they drew near to Allah through this, the act of drawing near would be an innovation; because it is drawing near through something Allah has forbidden. Yes.
