Denying the validity of prayer in the cemetery and the method of advising the ignorant

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man prayed the 'Asr prayer in the cemetery today, and a person stopped him, saying it is not permissible to pray in the cemetery. Another person said, "Do not stop him after the prayer; instead, inform him that it is not permissible." Which of the two is correct?

Answer:
Yes, stopping him is not permissible. One must be gentle, especially with the ignorant. The important thing is that you do not leave him without explaining it to him, and this should not be done with harshness or severity because he is ignorant. Yes.
