Question:
He says: What is the ruling on practicing the sport of walking around the walls of the cemetery?
Answer:
There is no harm in it, provided he does not intend the cemetery or seeking blessing from it. If he intends to seek blessing from it or to seek the help of the dead, that is shirk (associating partners with Allah). But if he intends only the exercise, and does not intend the cemetery or those in it, then there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
