Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : When passing by the walls of the graveyards, do we greet the people in them?
The Shaykh : Yes, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) said: It is recommended to greet the people in the graveyards, whether you pass by or stop. However, stopping and making du'a with what was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is better than merely passing by, especially since people passing by in cars is usually quick; a person does not complete a quarter of what was reported before he has passed the graveyard.
The questioner : Even if there is a wall?
The Shaykh : Huh?
The questioner : Even if there is a wall?
The Shaykh : No, if there is a wall that prevents seeing the graveyards, it is not a visit. Yes, from the right.
The questioner : O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : You are a resident, glory be to Allah! If the brothers who came from far away have finished, then you, if Allah wills. And the question is for everyone, not just the questioner. Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
