The ruling on living inside the courtyard of a cemetery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are people who live inside the courtyard of the cemetery, and what is the ruling on their praying inside their homes?

Answer:
By Allah, this is a matter that requires consideration, and a recent study has been conducted on it. However, they say that their residence is separated from the cemetery, and that they remain there out of necessity, as they are workers, and if they left, their mosque would be more convenient for them. But it should be separated; their residence and their mosque should be separated from the cemetery. A barrier should be placed between them and the cemetery, and then it is permissible to live there.
