because such emphasis has not been made regarding their graves, and there are risks of serious issues there. If they are graves of close relatives, then women will become impatient, and if they are the tombs of saints, then they will either be disrespectful or exceed the etiquette of respect due to their ignorance; this is usually noticed and observed. So it is safer for them to avoid visiting the tombs of saints and other graves.
My master A’lā Ḥaḍrat رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ تَـعَـالٰی عَـلَيْـه said: Visiting the graves of relatives, especially if the death is recent, will definitely revive grief in women, and when they visit the tombs of saints (رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَالٰی) then there is a chance of one of the two evils occurring; either a lack of respect or an unlawful exaggeration of respect. Therefore, it is totally prohibited. This is why the author of ‘Ghunyaĥ’ declared this to be Makrūĥ. However, visiting and kissing the soil of the Grand court of our Holiest Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ تَـعَـالٰى عَـلَيْـهِ وَاٰلـِهٖ وَسَـلَّم is the greatest of desirable actions. In fact, it is close to Wājib, we shall not prevent them from doing this, rather we shall teach them the proper manners of visiting.

Question: During their visit to Ḥaramayn Ṭayyibayn, can Islamic sisters visit the blessed birthplace of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, the caves of Ḥirā, and Šaur, Mount Uḥud etc. or not?
Answer: If they avoid mixing with men and fulfil all the requirements of veil, then they can visit. However, it is better for them to stay at their residence and perform worship, because it is extremely difficult for them to avoid mixing with men, especially during the blessed Hajj season. Even if they do visit these sites, then it is more appropriate for them to see these blessed historic sites from a distance whilst remaining in their vehicles.
