Some Muslims do not allow or object women accompanying a funeral to a graveyard or their presence in a graveyard during burial, however, they do not oppose their visit to a graveyard in times other than that. As per Ahadith of Masomeen -asws , there are neither any restrictions for women to participate in a funeral nor to accompany a funeral to a graveyard.

There is an evidence that Syeda tul Nisa e Allameen -asws (daughter of Prophet Mohammed -saww ) participated in a funeral of martyred (stepdaughter) of Rasool-Allah -saww (Ahadith are cited in the following section). The extreme position taken by some Muslims regarding abhorring/barring women from visiting graveyard are taken from non-shia Ahadith sources, however, even those Ahadith are considered as either inconclusive or unreliable by many Muslim scholars, see Appendix I.
