The ruling on using old graveyards as residences or farms

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our Shaykh (may Allah preserve him). Is it permissible to convert old graveyards into residences or farms or houses?

Answer:
No, as long as they are graveyards, it is not permissible to make use of them or turn them into residences or farms. As long as they are clear graveyards with clear landmarks, they remain graveyards. Yes.
