Placing lighting around the cemetery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: Does placing lighting around the cemetery count as setting up lamps on it?

Answer:
If the lighting is for the street that passes by the cemetery, there is no objection; this is lighting for the street. However, if the lighting is for the sake of the cemetery, it is not permissible.
