The ruling on the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) teaching Aishah the supplication for visiting graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner is inquiring about the grade of the hadith narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) asked him to teach her the supplication to recite when visiting graves, and he taught her. Is this hadith authentic? Does this indicate the permissibility of women visiting graves?
Answer:
The hadith is authentic, but it was during the time when permission was granted. He initially prohibited everyone, then he permitted everyone, and then the final Sunnah came with the prohibition for women and the command for men to visit. When the people first embraced Islam, he prohibited them from visiting graves because they were newly converted from disbelief, so this served to protect them from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and keep them away from it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted everyone. Then the Sunnah settled on prohibiting women from visiting and commanding men to visit. His statement to Aishah was during the time when visiting was permitted for everyone, both men and women. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
