What is the ruling on distributing booklets and pamphlets in the cemetery?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on distributing religious booklets or pamphlets in the cemetery, and what is the ruling on the one who does so with the intention that it is an endowment (waqf) for the deceased?

Answer:
There is no place for distribution except the cemetery. The cemetery is not a place for distribution. The one who distributes should distribute in schools, in mosques, and in offices, after being granted permission. Not everything is distributed. There may be things that are not good. Many incorrect things have been found in the pamphlets. Therefore, it must be authorized by the oversight committee or by the Department of Ifta, because they are correct and contain no objections. They are not distributed in cemeteries, but in places other than cemeteries, because cemeteries are not a place for distribution, but rather a place for burial and departure thereafter.
