Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted[At-Takwir 81:8]
Answer:
The buried alive is the daughter whom they kill while she is still alive until she dies under the earth.[An-Nahl 16:58-59]? In the pre-Islamic age of ignorance, they hated daughters and buried them while they were alive, burying them while they were alive, dying under the earth in a terrible manner of killing. So the buried alive is the daughter who is buried while alive and dies under the earth. "Asked" means that Allah will question this criminal on the Day of Resurrection: why did you kill her? Yes.

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْAnswer:
The buried alive is the daughter whom they kill while she is still alive until she dies under the earth.
(58) And when one of them is informed of [the birth of] a female, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. (59) He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide.
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِالْأُنثَىٰ ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ يَتَوَارَىٰ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مِن سُوءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِ أَيُمْسِكُهُ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُ فِي التُّرَابِ أَلَا سَاءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ
