Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Two months ago, I entered the Ma'lat cemetery in Makkah and saw that the graves are built with bricks on the inside. The deceased is placed there, then covered with idhkhar and not buried in soil. Then the grave is covered with a cover made of concrete to make it easy to open. Is this action prescribed?
Answer:
Yes, this is done in large cities where there is no land for graves. They do this. There is nothing wrong with this cemetery when there is a need for it.
