Women visiting the grave

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwaa.com

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,

Ismail Moosa (Mufti)
