The Ruling on Preferring One Graveyard Over Another

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I ask Allah for your sake. Some of the brothers present are asking about the terms? He preferred burial in al-Nasim or al-'Ud graveyard, because al-'Ud graveyard will be closed after a short period.

The Shaykh:
In any place where it is facilitated, this is the head.

The questioner:
No, what was intended

The Shaykh:
Any place where he is buried, praise be to Allah, there is no preference. I say there is no preference, as long as he is buried according to the condition, praise be to Allah.

The questioner:
No, the distinction is that, for example, a new graveyard comes where people come and make du'a for the dead.

The Shaykh:
He is buried in any graveyard, yes, in any graveyard, the graveyards of the Merciful.
