The ruling on praying in dwellings inside a cemetery

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, there are people who live inside the courtyard of the cemetery. What is the ruling on their praying inside their dwellings?

Answer:
By Allah, this is problematic, and a study was actually conducted on it. However, they say that their dwelling is separated from the cemetery, and that they remain there out of necessity because they are workers and did not settle there, and that having their mosque with them is more convenient for them. But it should be separated; their dwelling and their mosque should be separated from the cemetery by building a wall between them and the cemetery, and then the problem is resolved.
