Question
I saw in the cemetery a man wearing jeans and Tshirt smoking. At the graveside of his relative. Is it permissible to smoke inside the cemetery?
Answer
Once when Hadhrat Hasan Basri (Rahmatullah alayh) saw a man eating bread in a Qabrustaan, he commented that the man was a 'munaafiq'. The chap with the jeans smoking at the graveside cannot be a Muslim although he may have been born in a Muslim home. His appallingly evil conduct testifies to his kufr. It is haraam to smoke even outside the cemetery or anywhere else.
