Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In one of the cemeteries in Riyadh, some people installed fans that blow air with some water mist, in order to cool the atmosphere and relieve the heat. He asks: What is the ruling on such an action?
Answer:
My brothers, these innovations are not appropriate; they are not appropriate in cemeteries. Cemeteries are sensitive, and things happen there that may develop later, so we leave the cemeteries alone and do not introduce anything into them. Whoever is able to attend the burial attends it, and whoever is not able does not attend, praise be to Allah. Yes. As for installing fans, installing canopies, and doing this and that, it is not permissible. Yes.
