The Obligation to Protect Graveyards from Disrespect

Question:
The first question is that we have graveyards that do not have enclosures, and there are various trees inside them. Livestock enter the graveyard, and some people relieve themselves behind the graves. What is the ruling on this?

Answer:
Graveyards that are disrespected by people walking over them, or by livestock, or by having manure thrown on them, or by people relieving themselves among them, should be enclosed. They should be walled in. The people of the town should cooperate in walling them in with a wall that prevents livestock and prevents people from being careless and trampling on them. If the people of the town are unable to do this, they should write to the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs, which, if Allah wills, will not fall short in helping to enclose the graveyards so that they are not disrespected. It is not permissible for a Muslim to urinate between the graves or relieve himself between the graves; this is not permissible for him. It is also not permissible to walk over them and insult them; all of this is not permissible. If there are trees that may cause livestock to enter the graveyard and harm the buried, these harmful trees should be cut down and removed because they cause the disrespect of the graves and the harm of the dead. These trees should be cut down so that no cause remains for these livestock to enter, which may dig up the graves and cause their disrespect. Yes.
