Burial in our country is done by building on the surface of the ground, and we told them that you must dig in the ground. Do we commit a sin if they do not dig?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : Peace be upon you. And upon you be peace. Raise your voice, Shaykh, if you please. May Allah make you happy. Regarding the graves in our country, they are built on the surface of the ground and not dug into the ground. So if we bequeath that we be buried underground and this is not carried out, do we bear a sin, O Shaykh?

Answer : You bear no sin.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good, thank you.
