Question:
Shaykh, what is the height of the grave above the ground?
Answer:
Its height is the height of a shibr (a hand's breadth) so that it is known to be a grave and is not leveled with the ground such that it is not distinguished as a grave. Rather, it is raised above the ground by the height of a shibr and made sloped so that when the rain falls, the water does not pool on top of it, but flows down to its sides. This is the wisdom in making it sloped. As for the wisdom in its being the height of a shibr, that is so that it is known to be a grave, so that it is not trampled upon or disrespected. Yes.
