The ruling on moving a grave from one place to another

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This is a questioner residing in Riyadh who asks about the ruling in the Shari'ah regarding moving a grave from one place to another?

Answer:
This returns to referring to the mufti or the judge in the country, and to the Ifta' department in Riyadh. The grave is not moved except by legal permission from one of the two parties: either the judge in the country, or the Ifta' department in Riyadh. Usually, the judge writes to the mufti regarding this matter, and he looks into it. Yes.
