A Reminder Of The Hereafter
Narrated by Buraidah رحمه الله:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I forbade you to visit graves, but you may now visit them, for in visiting them there is a reminder (of death).”
[Graded saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Sunan Abi Dawud 3235]
_ Sulaiman bin Buraidah رحمه الله narrated from his father that: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “I had prohibited you from visiting the graves. But Muhammad was permitted to visit the grave of his mother: so visit them, for they will remind you of the Hereafter.”_
[Graded hasan saheeh in Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1054]
_ VISITING GRAVES IS FOR MEN NOT WOMEN:
Narrated by Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه:
“The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) cursed women who visit graves.”_
[Graded hasan in Sunan Ibn Majah 1576]
_ Shaykh Ibn Baaz رحمه الله said: “The correct view is that it is not allowed for women to visit graves, because of the hadeeth mentioned. It was narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) cursed women who visit graves. Women should stop visiting graves. The woman who visited a grave out of ignorance (of this ruling) is not to blame, but she should not do it again. If she does so, she has to repent and seek forgiveness, and repentance cancels out whatever came before. Visiting graves is only for men._
But with regard to the prayer (women praying the funeral prayer), there is nothing wrong with that. Women may join the funeral prayer. The prohibition applies only to visiting the graves. Women should not visit graves according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions, because of the ahaadeeth which indicate that that is forbidden. She does not have to offer any kafaarah, all she has to do is repent.”
