The Collapse of Graves in Some Cemeteries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: We are the cemetery inspectors, and we are presenting to Your Eminence our question regarding the issue of the collapse of graves in some cemeteries. There is discussion and questioning about what should be done when these collapses occur. Please note that the cases of collapse do not fall outside of three scenarios: 1. The collapse of the grave after several days have passed. 2. The collapse of the grave during the burial of the deceased in that grave. 3. The collapse of the grave shortly after the burial is completed, within a few minutes. We ask Your Eminence to kindly answer each of these cases individually: Should the soil be removed and the bricks repaired, or the ones that caused the collapse be replaced, or should the situation be left as it is?
A: If the grave collapses during the burial, it is obligatory to repair the collapse. However, if the collapse occurs after the burial is completed, the collapse should be repaired by filling it in until it is level with the adjacent graves.
