The questioner : The Shaykh, may Allah reward you. The statement of the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him): “And do not be a neighbor to the graves in a way that harms them”. Regarding the criterion for being a neighbor, is it necessary that the neighbor be adjacent, for example, to the wall of the cemetery, or is it sufficient if he is opposite, with a road separating him from it, as is the case with people today, who are considered neighbors even if they are opposite?
The Shaykh : By Allah, it is possible to say that being a neighbor means being adjacent, or that being a neighbor is such that they hear this reprehensible speech.
And the truth is that it becomes a place for reprehensible matters and the like, even though the occasion is one of remembering the Hereafter. Yes.
