Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: There is a plot in my country that was a cemetery, but it was covered over and houses were built on top of it, even though the dead are still under this land. His question is: Is it permissible for me to live in these houses?
Answer:
If you know that it is a cemetery, do not live in it; it is forbidden for you. Even if others are living there, do not live with them in it. Rather, warn them that this is not permissible. Cemeteries are to be respected and not trampled upon, lived on, or built upon. They are to be respected and preserved.
