Visiting Graves is Forbidden

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad cursed women who visit graves.

Abu Hurairah narrated: "Indeed the Messenger of Allah cursed the women who visit the graves".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَعَنَ زَوَّارَاتِ الْقُبُورِ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ رَأَى بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّ هَذَا كَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُرَخِّصَ النَّبِيُّ فِي زِيَارَةِ الْقُبُورِ فَلَمَّا رَخَّصَ دَخَلَ فِي رُخْصَتِهِ الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّمَا كُرِهَ زِيَارَةُ الْقُبُورِ لِلنِّسَاءِ لِقِلَّةِ صَبْرِهِنَّ وَكَثْرَةِ جَزَعِهِنَّ

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow Islamic teachings, Worship Allah alone

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, forbade women from visiting graves. This prohibition is based on the idea that it can lead to a form of worship which is not sanctioned by Islam. Women are also more likely to become emotional when visiting graves and this could lead to them engaging in activities which are not allowed in Islam such as wailing or making supplications directly to the dead person instead of Allah. It is important for Muslims to remember that death should be accepted as part of life and that we should focus our attention on worshipping Allah alone and living a life according to His commands.
