Exhuming the grave of one who died while abandoning prayer in order to move him from the Muslim cemeteries

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from outside this country says: One of our acquaintances passed away, and he used to abandon the prayer. He was buried in the Muslim cemeteries there. His question is: Do I have the right to take him out of his grave and bury him in another place?

Answer:
No, you are not obligated to do this. Leave him, and Allah knows best about his state. Yes.
