The Sin of Living Next to a Building Constructed Over Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The listener Adnan Muflih from Yemen says that he lives next to a cemetery where buildings resembling mosques are being constructed over the graves. Will I be sinful if I live next to this cemetery?
The Shaykh:
The sin does not attach to the one who did this, but you should advise those who do this, perhaps they will repent to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and you will have the reward. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you and reward you with good. With Shaykh Dr. Salih ibn Fawzan al-Fawzan, a member of the Council of Senior Scholars and a member of the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta. Thank you for participating in this episode; may Allah reward you.
