Question

When women from all over the world go to umrah or hajj, they also go to Masjid e Nabwi. In Masjid e Nabawi, men are allowed to be very close to the roza of Rasool u Allah (Sallallahu `alaihi wasallam , Peace be upon him), meaning they can see the golden gates in which the Prophet's grave is. Only at a certain time during the day usually in the morning, they allow women to come to this area for about a few hours. So my question is would this be considered going to the grave of the Prophet (Peace be upon him) even though we can't see the grave and so on. Actually, I went for umrah and went to riaz ul jannah and the roza of RasoolulAllah (Sallallahu `alaihi wasallam , peace be upon him). I am asking this question so I can better answer if someone says "we don't go to the graves that's why we don't go where the prophet's grave is either in Masjid e Nabawi". I personally think these people are unfortunate! and Allah knows best. So please answer my question that for women to go to the roza of the prophet be considered forbidden as well since they are not allowed to visit graves? Jazakallah for your answer, may Allah Subhanahu Wa'Taala bless you for spreading the knowledge of Islam.

Answer

In Fatawa Mehmoodia, it is mentioned that women are allowed to visit the mubarak grave of Prophet Mohammad Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

And Allah knows best.
