A Comparative Examination of Suspicions Regarding Women's Pilgrimage of Graves between Wahhabism and Traditional Islamic Scholars

Wahhabism, in obedience to its elders, has raised doubts about the sanctity of visiting graves, deeming traveling to visit the grave of the Noble Prophet (PBUH) as forbidden. They have opposed the consensus of Muslims on traveling to visit the graves of predecessors in Medina and the recommended mosques in Medina. Furthermore, they have questioned women's visitation of graves due to seeking intercession from the deceased and Prohibition of evasive legal devices. This article seeks to address the question: What is the viewpoint of Sunni and Shia scholars regarding Wahhabi doubts about women's visitation of graves? The aim of this research is to elucidate Islamic rulings and the equality of the issue of visiting graves for both men and women. Regarding the visitation of graves, by responding to Wahhabi doubts about women's visitation of graves, the permission for visitation will become apparent according to the viewpoints of Shia scholars such as Bahrani, Najafi, and others, as well as Sunni jurists such as Khurashi, Ibn Abidin, Shawkani, and Ibn AbdulBarr. Considering the subject, the research method is descriptive-analytical, utilizing credible sources from Islamic schools of thought. Through examining authentic Islamic sources, Wahhabi doubts, such as considering it as mischief against non-mahram, Prohibition of evasive legal devices, and cursing women who visit graves, are found to be weak and lacking in legal evidence.
