What is the ruling on praying the obligatory prayer in a cemetery?

Question : May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to pray the obligatory prayer in a cemetery if we are burying a deceased person and the time for prayer has arrived?

Answer : Yes, the cemetery is not a place for prayer. Al-Tirmidhi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated a hadith that the scholars acted upon: Therefore, prayer is not permissible in the cemetery, neither the obligatory prayer nor the voluntary prayer, whether the graves are in front of you, to your right, to your left, or behind you. It is not permissible under any circumstances for a person to pray in the cemetery except for one prayer, which is the prayer over the grave or the funeral prayer while they are waiting to bury it.
