When is the supplication for entering graves said: when passing by them or only when entering them?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it prescribed to recite the supplication for entering the cemetery when passing by its wall, or only when entering it?

Answer:
It is not obligatory for you to enter it. If you pass by it, you greet the dead and pray for them, saying, "Peace be upon you, abode of a people of faith," while you are walking. You say what is mentioned in the hadith while you are walking. It is not obligatory for you to enter it.
