Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner is from outside this country. He says: Most of the graveyards in our country have no protection or walls, and those in charge of them are not trustworthy. They commit acts of violation against the graves, and this has actually happened. His question is: People are compelled to place cement concrete on the grave out of fear of these people. Is this permissible, given that the need is severe?
Answer:
This is not permissible. However, if there is a means of prevention other than building on them, if there is a means of prevention other than building on them, yes.
