What is the ruling on women visiting the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Question:
She says: She visited the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and noticed that some people rebuked her. She seeks the guidance of the Shaykh.

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement regarding women visiting graves. Some scholars have said that women visit graves just as men do, and this is the opinion of some scholars.
The second opinion is that they do not visit graves, neither the grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) nor any other.
This opinion is the stronger and more correct of the two; because of his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying in the authentic hadith that he (peace and blessings be upon him): And in the other wording: This indicates that they do not visit graves. Initially, they used to visit graves along with the men in general, then Allah prohibited women from doing so, and the dispensation remained for the men. The reason for this, and Allah knows best, is that they are a trial and their patience is little. So Allah prescribed for them to leave that off so that they do not become a trial or are not tried in visiting graves. They should invoke forgiveness and mercy for their deceased in their homes, in the streets, and in the mosques, and there is no need to visit graves. Yes.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
