Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if the ground is unstable and not solid, as in coastal areas, is it permissible to dig a trench in the grave?

Answer:
No, a structure is built the size of the deceased, the deceased is placed in it, then it is roofed over, and then it is buried.
