The questioner:
May Allah reward you. He asks: Is it permissible to exhume the graves of Muslims?

The Shaykh:
My brother, his father married his sister to Waleed, and then al-Salim took over, yes, may Allah send blessings and peace upon him.

The questioner:
He asks: Is it prescribed to exhume the graves of Muslims to bury other funerals?

The Shaykh:
They should seek out another cemetery; they do not dig them up, but rather they seek out for them [other burial places], for the earth of Allah is vast.

May Allah reward you.
