Question
If a woman will not cry and wail, is it permissible for her to visit the graveyard? Is there a specific dua to recite when sending the reward of Yaseen, etc. to the deceased?
Answer
It is not permissible for women to visit the graveyard regardless of not crying. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Allah curses women who visit the qabrustaan."
The thawaab (reward) of Yaseen or of any good deed is sent to the deceased simply by supplicating in your own language. Ask Allah Ta'ala to bestow the reward to the deceased. There is no specific dua nor is it necessary to make this supplication in Arabic.
