Removing a woman from a *mujannah* and burying her in a conventional grave

The Shaykh:
except.

The questioner:
the *mujannah*.

The Shaykh:
*Mujannah* with a lam, not a nun, right? With a nun, *majallah*, yes, indeed.

The questioner:
He says: It is a small room dug in the outskirts of the mountains and covered with stones. He says: These days, some of her relatives and neighbors see this deceased woman in their dreams, and she tells them and commands them to take her out of that *mujannah* and bury her in a proper grave. The question is: What is the ruling on taking her out now and burying her in a conventional grave, given that she is now just bones after eight years?

The Shaykh:
This is good. There is no doubt that as long as she is advising them to do so and requesting it, this indicates that she is being harmed and that her place is unsuitable, or usurped, or has something wrong with it. So they should move her to the cemetery and bury her in the cemetery. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
