Question
Can a pregnant woman visit the grave of Rabbi Shayele of Kerestir?
Answer
Hello,
It is permitted for a pregnant woman to visit the graves of tzaddikim.
There is no source that prohibits a pregnant woman from entering a cemetery, but this is the custom. However, in cases of necessity, such as a yahrzeit or for prayer at the grave of a tzaddik, it is not customary to prohibit it.
