Is it permissible for a woman to visit graves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions of this questioner, she says: Is it permissible for me to visit graves, meaning: to visit my brother (may Allah have mercy on him)? Since my brother passed away, I always go to visit him, offer incense, stay with him for a while, send blessings upon him, and always pray for him to enter Paradise. Is this permissible?

Answer:
This is not permissible. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cursed women who visit graves, and women do not visit graves. Likewise, going to graves with perfume, all of this is reprehensible. But pray for him in your house, pray for him in your home in your prostration, send blessings upon him, and give charity on his behalf.
As for visiting graves, no, women do not visit graves. You must repent for what has passed, you must repent for what you did previously, and pray for him in your house. Praise be to Allah.

The presenter: May Allah reward you and bless you, O Shaykh.
