There is no religious impediment for a Muslim to reside in a place adjacent to graves. However, he should not enter the graves of disbelievers, as these are places where the punishment of Allah Almighty descends. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against entering the dwellings of those who wronged themselves, except if one is weeping.
