The Ruling on Demolishing Graves in the Lands
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: We have in Tunisia many graves of the awliya (close friends of Allah) and the righteous. What is the ruling on those who visit these graves in prison?
The Shaykh:
What is the ruling?
The questioner:
Those who warn about these graves, they warn about them.
The Shaykh:
Only the authority demolishes graves; individuals do not have the authority to demolish graves. It must be from the one in authority. If they demolish them without authority, fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) will occur and evil will occur.
