The ruling on walking in slippers between the graves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on wearing shoes and slippers, especially when burying a deceased person in the cemeteries? Is it disliked (makruh) in the sense of being discouraged, or is it forbidden?

The Shaykh:
What is the ruling?

The questioner:
Wearing slippers in the cemeteries and walking on the graves.

The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with wearing slippers in the cemeteries out of necessity, such as the heat of the sun, thorns, or pebbles. However, one must not step on the graves; he should be careful not to step on the graves. As for wearing them and walking between the graves or on the paths in the cemeteries, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
