Is it permissible to approach the wall of the grave of Hamza ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) to see it up close?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Women's visitation of graves is a matter of dispute among scholars, and the most accurate opinion is that it is permissible under certain conditions.

Therefore, there is no impediment for the questioner to visit the grave of Hamza and other martyrs from behind the fence, provided she is safe from distress, does not go unveiled or perfumed, and does not do so excessively.
