The ruling on connecting electricity to graves to illuminate them

Question:
This questioner says: We live in a village, and sometimes we bury people at night. So some people connected electricity poles to the graves to light them up, and they excused themselves by saying that people might step on the graves at night, and that the graves are very close to each other in the cemetery. The question is: What is the ruling on their action of connecting electricity poles to the graves to illuminate them?

Answer:
The answer is that the one who does this is cursed. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And illuminating them is like setting lamps on them, or even worse, because lamps are temporary and go out, but electricity is permanent. Is it not permissible to illuminate the graves? This claim is false. They say, "We step on the graves." No, that is not correct. Stepping on a grave without intention is not a problem, but if you do it intentionally, it is disliked. However, lighting the cemetery is a major sin for the one who does it, among the major sins, so this action is not permissible. Yes.
