Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the desert, when a person dies, they sometimes place armored stones or ceramics around the sides and on top of the grave, and sometimes they place a fence, in order to prevent some of the animals in the desert from digging the corpse out of its grave and eating it. What is the ruling on this action?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that to protect the grave, whether with stones, bricks, or anything else; there is no harm in it. Yes.
