Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: In the area where I am, there are raised graves, or there are raised tombs. Should I and a group of young men level them? Knowing that the people do not believe in them at all, and praise be to Allah, and I am the imam in that area.
Answer:
No, my brother, this requires the authority. The authority is the one who levels the graves, removes the elevation, and demolishes the shrines. Without the authority, no evil occurs.
