Abstract

This research aimed to analyze the hadÄ«ths and comments of 'ulamÄ' regarding the prohibition and permissibility of grave visitation by women. In the time of the Prophet Muhammad, the practice of visiting graves was strictly prohibited but later the prohibition was abolished. However, after the Prophet's death, the pros and cons surrounding the law on grave pilgrimage resulted in hostility, as the performers were accused of grave worship and convicted of heresy. Subsequently, the data were analyzed using the library research method with a comparative-compromising approach. The results showed that hadÄ«ths on the law of pilgrimage for women were not singular and had birthed several other laws. The admonishment of grave visitation by hadÄ«ths editors did not apply to all women because many supported pilgrimages, which made such curses nasÄkh. It denoted that hadÄ«ths prohibiting women from visiting graves were no longer valid, except for the 'illÄt, which fulfilled the curse of women. Since different editorials will give rise to varying opinions regarding the grave pilgrimage for women, a compromise between hadÄ«ths is necessary to produce an accurate and accommodating legal formulation
