Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some graves are now raised more than a shibr, and when we rebuke them for it, they say that after a period of time they will sink and their level will drop. What is your view?
Answer:
This is not a valid argument. If it sinks, they put a second layer of dirt on it. If it sinks and needs to be leveled, they put a second layer of dirt on it, praise be to Allah.
