Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Our ground is hard, so we are unable to dig deeply. Therefore, the custom in the country is that they raise the grave with stones to protect it from being tampered with. Is this permissible?
Answer:
Yes, if digging is difficult and it requires building a chamber over it or something similar, which they call a saqiyyah, there is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
