Women visiting Islamic historic sites

Q: When a person goes for Umrah, or makes ziyarat of Masjid Aqsa, visits Jordan, etc. and there are graveyards like Jannatul Baqee etc. should women folk also visit the graveyards from maybe outside?

Also, in Badr, a person takes the name of the Shuhada of Badr and makes Dua etc. So should women visit the qabrastan from outside and convey salaams to Sahabah (radhiyallahu anhum) or should they stay away. Visiting quboor even In these blessed places..

A: Just as it is more virtuous for women to perform their salaah at home, it is more virtuous for them to remain at home rather than going around to all these sites.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
