My master A’lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه mentioned the prohibition of women visiting graves in many of his writings. In one place he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه said: Imām Qāḍī ‘Iyāḍ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was asked if it was permissible for women to visit graveyards. He رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied, ‘You should not be asking whether or not this is permissible, rather you should be asking how much a woman is cursed for this. When she intends to exit her house to visit the cemetery, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and angels curse her; when she exits her house, devils surround her from all directions; when she reaches the grave, the deceased’s soul curses her; she remains in the curse of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ until she returns.’

Question: Can they not even offer Salām from outside the blessed cemetery?
Answer: If they are coincidentally passing by Jannat-ul-Baqī’, Jannat-ul-Ma’lā or any other Muslim cemetery or tomb of a saint, on foot or transport, without a specific intention of visiting these sacred places, then there is no harm in saying Salām from a distance without stopping.
