Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on surrounding a grave with blocks on the outside? Is this among the plastering that is prohibited?

Answer:
If the grave needs this to protect it from being trampled and desecrated, whether it is one grave or two, separate graves, and there is a fear of them being desecrated, then it is permissible to surround them.
