The questioner:
A questioner says: We are from outside this country, and in our village there are two shrines.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
No one has visited them for a long time, and these shrines are abandoned. If we warn people about them, will we be opening a door for people to come to them?
The Shaykh:
As long as they are abandoned and no one goes to them, do not alert people to them. Let them remain as they are. But if you are able to remove the structures built over them and make them ordinary graves, then do so. Yes.
