    Question: Is it permissible for young females and children to visit graves of pious persons like khwaja Gharib Nawaz, Hadhrat Nizammuddin etc, for spiritual communion and how we should pay homage to them?

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 273/213/B=1433) According to Hadith, women have been forbidden to visit graves. Hence women and small children should not go there. Just they should recite the holy Quran at their homes and do Isal-e-Sawab along with doing dua for their maghfirah. It is homage for them. رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ الخ [الحشر : 10]
