Question:
A questioner says: My brother (may Allah have mercy on him) passed away and was buried in a cemetery in Jeddah. The grave is like a tank, and there are clear numbers on the graves. He asks: What is the ruling on these numbers?
Answer:
I do not know the method of these graves. They place the deceased in it for a period, then they move his bones to another place and put another deceased in its place, yes.
