The ruling on digging up graves and transferring the bones of the deceased to another cemetery
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: We had a cemetery in the middle of the road, so some of the students of knowledge dug up the graves and exhumed the dead, then they placed each group of the deceased's bones in a cemetery,
Answer:
This is not permissible. This action is not permissible except with a fatwa from the Department of Ifta and under the supervision of a Sharia committee. You do not dig up graves just like that, yes.
