The Ruling on Grazing Sheep and Livestock Between the Graves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Is it permissible for sheep herders to leave their livestock to graze among the graveyards, trampling them? And is there a sin upon them for doing so? Knowing that they intentionally leave them to graze on the graveyards, and they see them with their own eyes?
Answer:
They are not permitted to do that; rather, it is obligatory to keep the sheep and other livestock away from the graveyards. If there is grass in the graveyards, they should cut it and give it to the sheep. They should cut it without harming the dead, cutting it in the proper way that does not involve disrespecting the dead or treading on their graves. As for leaving the livestock in the graveyards, this is not permissible; because this involves degrading the graves and showing no regard for them. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
