Sheikh, In my country, graveyards consist of pathways which r made of cement. The graves r situated lower than the pathways & surrounded by those paths. I know that wearing shoes in graveyards isn’t permissible. I’ve watched ur videos but haven’t found anything in this regard. What should be the appropriate etiquette to visit graves? Pls advise.
