Women visiting the mubaarak grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam)

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2019-07-30 08:06

Q: What response do I give to this sister. She sent me the following:

I have a question regarding visiting Rawdah (Blessed grave of Nabi [sallallahu alaihi wasallam]) as the workers here have created a doubt in my mind. Is it possible to get the answer?

A staff member was explaining that when we (ladies) visit the Rawdah, our intention should purely be ibaadah in Riyadh ul jannah and not to visit Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as he disliked ladies visiting graveyards. Then she quoted an ayah/hadeeth in Arabic and stated that He never said ladies shouldn’t visit graves except for mine. So she mentioned that we should all rectify our intentions before going inside.

I know there is a difference in opinions and people in Saudi might be from a different school of thought, but for us being Hanafi what is the ruling?

Also, is it necessary to make new clothes or wearing white clothes for hajj for a woman?
