217 I am concerned about this question for a long period of time. I believe to go to Dargah of Allahs beloved men, but I have heard from many sources that it is not good for a woman to go to any Dargah (Darbar) as Allah (S.W.T) appoint Angels to curse the woman soon she starts her Journey from Home to any Dargah (Darbar) and that curse continues by the Angels until she comes back home. Can you please clarify this for me along with the relevant citations of Quran (where possible) and Hadith.

218 I understand the need of purdah for women but why do women have to cover their hair?

Can you please let me know and also write the correct recount of the above incident.

255 When a pious Muslim man passes away Allah subhanatallah grants him 70 hooreh. Does a pious Muslim woman receive any reward? Also I have heard that a nikah of the husband and wife breaks on death of either couple so can the surviving spouse view the face as I have heard they become gher mehram? (Therefore is grieving permitted for a gher mehram? Sometimes a spouse may grieve for the remainder of their life). I have seen all men and women view the face of any deceased is this permitted? I am sorry for asking 3 questions but I would be grateful if I get a reply for all of them. Thank you.
