Brilio.net - As a tropical country, the natural conditions in Indonesia are known to be quite fertile . It's not surprising that the land in burial areas or cemeteries often becomes a place for various kinds of plants to grow.
It's not always planted manually, sometimes plants in graves can appear by themselves, you know. One of the common plants found in graves is frangipani.
However, unlike netizens on the CAHAYA LUSAN 2 YouTube account, instead of frangipani trees, he admitted that he had found a type of fruit plant around the grave.
Through a video upload, this netizen showed that there were watermelons growing abundantly in the cemetery area.

So, can you just take the fruit for consumption or even sell? Reported by BrilioFood on Sunday (21/7), the official Suara Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) website, islam.nu.or.id, has provided two models of explanation regarding the management of plants growing in graves based on fiqh.
First, if the land in the cemetery already has an owner, that owner automatically has the right to manage the plants that grow on it. This explanation is written in the book of fiqh by Abu Bakar bin Muhammad Syatha ad-Dimyathi.
"The meaning of the sentence al-mamlkah li mlikih is that if a grave is owned by a certain party, then all its affairs are handed over to the owner if the owner is clearly known who the person is. Thus, he or she may rent, lend, etc. the grave land and other things was there, because he was the owner," (Abu Bakar bin Muhammad Syatha ad-Dimyathi, I'anatuth Thalibin, [Darul Fikr: Beirut, 1997], juz 3, page 216).
It is different if the cemetery is provided for the wider community, meaning that the plants growing in the grave area can be used by anyone. However, it would be nice if the benefits of the plants from the grave were returned to the grave, whether for building paths, buying lamps, improving cleanliness, and so on.
Wow, how interesting is the unusual incident surrounding the growth of watermelons in the grave area? So, have you ever encountered unique plants around cemeteries?
