Women visiting the grave

Answered by 

Is it permissible for women to visit the grave

Answer:

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

Its better for a female not to go to a graveyard.

However, if she really wants to go, it will be permissible on three conditions:

1) She does not cry uncontrollably,

2) She is fully covered, with no scent,

3) She goes at a time when she is sure there are no other males there.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best

Wassalaam,
