Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The first letter in this episode is from listener Hamud al-Nazili from Yemen. In his first question, among a number of questions, he says: There are graves next to my house, and people walk over them, especially in cars. Am I sinful if I leave them to walk over them, given that they are lax in this matter? And what do you advise me to do? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions. After that, graves have their sanctity; it is not permissible to desecrate them by trampling over them or sitting on them, nor any other form of humiliation. It is obligatory to enclose them with a wall that prevents people from trampling over them.
So either you calculate the cost and enclose them yourself, or you report them to the relevant authority in your area to do what is required regarding this cemetery. Do not leave them to be desecrated. You must strive to enclose and protect them by any possible means, and you will have reward for that, if Allah wills. Yes.
