Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Among the questions, O our honorable Shaykh, that have reached us, this questioner says: There is an old cemetery in our village, and the road passes through it, and there is no other road. Should we transfer the graves that we walk over to another location?
Answer:
You must write to the Ifta' authority regarding this road, its specifications, and the description of the cemetery. The Ifta' authority will then write to the municipality of the town with whatever is required regarding this cemetery. Now, the road must be diverted from it, and the road must not pass over the graves; it must be blocked, and they must go to another road. Yes.
