Is it permissible to raise a grave more than a shibr if the rain erodes its soil?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: In our region, they raise the grave more than a shibr because the soil settles when it rains, so its height becomes approximately two shibr. Is there any blame in this?

Answer:
It is not raised more than a shibr; it is not raised more than a shibr. If it settles, soil is brought and placed on it. If it settles and there is fear of it being disrespected or erased, as long as it does not contradict the ruling, soil is brought, placed on it, and it is rounded.
