Is the conscience absolved by advising those responsible for building on graves?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh, this questioner says: In our country today, there is a movement to repair the buildings on the graves. We have advised those of the responsible officials whom we could advise, but the maintenance has not stopped, and it is being done in cooperation with foreign parties, specifically the Department of Antiquities. Does our role end with merely advising?

Answer:
Your role does not end with merely advising. You must inform the officials in the country to prevent this. It is not enough that you go and advise the workers. Inform the official in the country to prevent this. Yes.
