Placing a movable canopy in the cemetery to attend the burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In our village, one of them placed an iron canopy in the cemetery so that the elderly and disabled among those attending the burial can sit in it. This canopy is movable; it is brought to the burial and then returned to its place. Is that permissible?
Answer:
No, that is not permissible. It has been issued that there is a fatwa from Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim and from the Permanent Committee after him that the canopy is not to be placed in the cemetery, and the condolence is to be outside the cemetery. Yes.
