Dealing with Raised Graves and Inscriptions on Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: In some well-known graveyards, there are raised graves that are distinguished from the others, and some of them have signs and writings. So what do we do when we see them?
Answer:
Explain it to the people. If there is an authority that prevents this and removes it, then you explain to the person in authority that he should remove these things. If there is no authority, or he is unable to, or they do not accept it from you, then it is only upon you to explain and convey the message. Yes.
