Using stucco or gypsum to mark the rows


946

Q 7: Is it permissible to use stucco or gypsum to mark the rows for performing the Janazah (Funeral) Prayer in the graveyard, knowing that large numbers of people often perform Prayer there and thus these lines are necessary for straightening the rows? Please, give us a Fatwa on this issue! May you be rewarded!


A 7: No, it is not permissible to draw lines with stucco or gypsum or the like in the graveyard to straighten the rows in Janazah Prayer. Rather, the Imam (the one who leads congregational Prayer) should draw the praying persons' attention to straighten and consolidate the lines.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
