If a person passes by a cemetery whose wall hides the graves, does he have the virtue of greeting the cemetery?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If he passes by the cemeteries and the walls prevent him from seeing the graves, does he greet them?
The Shaykh : By Allah, I am hesitant about this, but I say that if he greets them, may Allah will it, I hope there is no harm on him.
The questioner : If he passes by in a car.
The Shaykh : In a car or on foot, as long as the cemetery is now enclosed by its wall and gate, it is separate in reality. So I am holding back on this, but I do not blame the one who does it. Yes.
