Ruling on Buying and Selling in Graveyards

Authored by: Saudi Fatwa Committee

Permissibility of Trade in Graveyards

Engaging in buying and selling within a graveyard is permissible in Islam. However, it is considered preferable and more appropriate to conduct such transactions in places designated for worldly affairs.

A graveyard is a place where visiting Muslims are reminded of death and the Hereafter. It is a setting that softens the heart and draws attention to the eternal life to come. Conducting worldly transactions in such a sacred and solemn environment is generally deemed inappropriate.
