The Ruling on Passing Over Graves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Salih, a question was received for the program asking: What is the ruling on using a cemetery as a path for people and animals, especially in villages where it is sometimes not fenced in many Islamic countries, and its boundaries are known?

Answer:
It is not permissible to pass over graves. The one who passes over them is sinful; because the sanctity of a Muslim in death is like his sanctity in life, so his grave is not to be trodden upon, nor stepped on. Yes.
