Building graveyards with red brick is not a problem

Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. From the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, a message was sent by a listener named Ahmad, who has a question. He says: We had graveyards last year that were hit by floods and collapsed, so we rebuilt them with red brick. Some people told us that the red brick that has been through the fire disturbs the dead. Is this true? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is not correct. You did well in building on the graveyard and repairing it after the floods swept it away, for this is a noble deed, as you repaired this graveyard to preserve the sanctity of the Muslim dead. There is no objection to using brick, stone, or clay in building the wall. Yes.
