Question
Is it permissible to cut the grass and weeds growing in the Qabrustaan and on the graves?
Answer
The Qabrustaan should not resemble a park. It should have a desolate appearance to remind one of Maut and the Aakhirah. Only the walking pathways should be cleared. Besides this, the grass, etc. should be left in its natural state. Only where there is a need, should the growth be cleared or trimmed.
