Charity for the Workers in the Cemetery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on giving charity to the workers in the cemetery? And is giving charity in this place prohibited?

Answer:
Yes, yes. The cemetery is not a place for charity, nor a place for [it]. The one who wants to give charity should give it to the needy in their homes, in the streets, or in any place where he encounters them. Yes.
