Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on the lighting currently present in the Al-‘Ud cemetery, given that the internal streets of the cemetery are illuminated?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The internal streets in the cemetery are illuminated.
The Shaykh:
This is a mistake, this is a mistake and it is not permissible, this is not permissible. These were streets for people to pass through, and these lights are for the street that people pass through, which is for the cemetery, and the cemetery is walled on the sides and the street passes between two walls; this is outside the cemetery. However, if the street is specific to the cemetery or inside the cemetery, this is not permissible. And the questioner has undertaken this, he writes to the organizations to do this for the sake of Allah, if Allah wills, or it is raised to the authorities.
