Transferring two old graves from in front of the house entrance
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a house with two old graves in front of it, located about four meters from the car entrance. There is another cemetery next to the house, and I have built a fence around it to prevent people from trampling on it. Is it permissible for me to transfer the two graves in front of the house entrance to the fenced cemetery? I have asked the elderly people in the community, some of whom are over eighty years old, and they said they do not know the owners of those two graves.
Answer:
You should refer this matter to the judge, and the judge will look into it. Alternatively, you can write to us, and we will refer it to the judge and do what is necessary regarding the grave, if Allah wills. Either you ask the judge and the court does what is necessary, or you write to us and we write to the judge and determine what is necessary, if Allah wills.
