Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. What is the ruling on benefiting from a palm tree in a cemetery? No one should benefit from it, such as by taking from its pollen.
Answer:
No palm trees or trees should remain in the cemetery, because this disrespects the cemetery. This palm tree should be uprooted and removed from the cemetery. Also, so that no one comes later to seek blessing from it, because people of evil and deception might seek blessing from it, and this would open a door of evil for the Muslims. It is obligatory that this palm tree in the cemetery be removed. Yes.
