Is it permissible for women to visit a graveyard?
Question I have heard that the reason behind women not being able to visit the deceased is because the people in the graves are able to see people that are alive, naked. But this doesn’t make any sense to me, and I am a little confused, because my sister and mother would like to visit…
Question
people in the graves are able to see people that are alive, naked. But this doesn’t make any
sense to me, and I am a little confused, because my sister and mother would like to visit my
father’s grave, and have visited, but I feel awkward not knowing if it is permissible or not?
I don’t see anything wrong with it my self, but please do clarify this situation ASAP.
Thank You very much (Jazak-Allah Khayr)
Praise be to Allah.
You need to encourage your mother and sister to make du’aa (supplication) for your father, as this offers
the greatest benefit to the deceased, and it is much better than the mere visit. Tell them that this du’aa will
benefit him whenever and wherever the person making the du’aa is, whether he or she is near the grave or
far away from it.
We ask Allaah to have mercy upon your deceased, and to give you patiencefor your loss.
To Allaah we belong and to him is our return.
