The Ruling on Walking Over Graves and Grazing Sheep There
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
One of the brothers sent a question asking: What is the ruling on walking over graves wearing shoes, and also grazing sheep in the cemetery?
The Shaykh:
Both matters are forbidden. It is not permissible to walk on graves with shoes, or even without shoes. It is not permissible to tread on a grave, nor is it permissible to graze sheep in the cemetery, because this may harm the deceased and show disrespect to the dead.
The questioner:
And do you clean it, O Shaykh, and remove the thorns from it?
The Shaykh:
If the thorns cause harm to the visitors, then they are removed. Yes.
