The obligation to respect graveyards and not to degrade them or use them as roads
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
This is a message received by the program from the sender, Kheir Allah Zarban al-Zahrani, from the Scientific Institute in al-Mandiq. He says in his message: In the village, there are graveyards, and the people have turned them into roads for cars and pedestrians. There are also people who dump garbage on them and graze sheep on them. Is that permissible for them? What is obligatory for the one who sees that? Should the owners of cars be prevented from passing over them? Please inform us; may Allah reward you.
Answer: It is obligatory to respect the graves and not to harm their inhabitants, neither by dumping garbage on them, nor by driving cars over them, nor by walking on them with one's feet. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, it is obligatory that they be protected from filth and from the passage of cars or feet over them. You can write to us about this graveyard, and who is to be pursued from the judiciary, so that we can do what is necessary regarding its protection and preventing its degradation, if Allah wills. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
