Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the ruling on walking around the cemetery for exercise only, without intending to circumambulate this cemetery?
Answer:
He no longer finds a place to walk except around the cemetery. This space is available and the streets are open, so I fear that this will, in two respects, lead to what is forbidden: they are distancing themselves from the cemeteries. Yes.
