Question:
May Allah reward you, Sabirin. This questioner says: There are people who walk around the graveyards for the purpose of exercise, both men and women. What is the ruling on this action of theirs?
Answer:
I mean from outside the graveyard, from outside the wall of the graveyard. There is nothing wrong with that; because outside the wall of the graveyard is not part of the graveyard, so there is no objection to that. Yes. Peace be upon you. Unless one fears that it is circumambulation of the graves, but that is far-fetched, it is far-fetched that it would be circumambulation of the graves. Yes.
