Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner also says: The graveyards in our village are located on agricultural land, so people are forced to build graves above ground for fear of water seeping out onto the deceased. They make them like rooms. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that if there is a need to build the grave for the deceased, place him in it, and seal it, provided there is an obstacle. Yes.
