Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Respected sister, the jurists have stated that it is reprehensible (makrooh) for a young female to go to the graveyard of Muslims, let alone that of non-Muslims. So therefore, refrain from going to the funeral. And in the Quran, Allah Ta’ala has forbidden us to pray for non-Muslims (Quran 9:113).

وبزيارة القبور ولو للنساء لحديث { كنت نهيتكم عن زيارة القبور ألا فزوروها } ( الدر المختار: 3 ص 177 )

وفي الشامية: ( قوله وبزيارة القبور ) أي لا بأس بها ، بل تندب كما في البحر عن المجتبى … ( قوله : ولو للنساء ) وقيل : تحرم عليهن والأصح أن الرخصة ثابتة لهن بحر ، وجزم في شرح المنية بالكراهة لما مر في اتباعهن الجنازة وقال الخير الرملي : إن كان ذلك لتجديد الحزن والبكاء والندب على ما جرت به عادتهن فلا تجوز ، وعليه حمل حديث { لعن الله زائرات القبور } وإن كان للاعتبار والترحم من غير بكاء والتبرك بزيارة قبور الصالحين فلا بأس إذا كن عجائز ويكره إذا كن شواب كحضور الجماعة في المساجد ا هـ وهو توفيق حسن ( رد المحتار: 3 ص 178 )
