Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: In our cemetery, the municipality has installed light bulbs. When there is a burial at night, they turn them on, and when the burial is finished, the lights are turned off. Is this action permissible?

There is a fatwa on this. A fatwa was issued stating that wires should be placed along the wall of the cemetery, and these wires should be connected to the extent of the need. Then, when they are finished with the burial, they are disconnected. There is a fatwa on this. Yes.
