What is the ruling on a woman entering a cemetery while she is aware of the ruling, but then enters it coerced for the burial of a relative of hers? And does she bear sin for that?
A woman following a funeral procession is disliked (makruh), but her visit to graves for admonition is permissible if no corruption (mafsadah) is feared. However, if a woman imitates (follows the opinion of) someone who issues a fatwa prohibiting women from visiting graves, and then deliberately visits them, she must repent to Allah Almighty.
