Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father passed away four years ago and was buried in graves that are one meter above the ground. Yes. He says: My father passed away four years ago and was buried in graves that are one meter above the ground, and I want to allocate a piece of land next to the cemetery and move him there so that he is in a lawful grave. Is that permissible for me? And what is the method?
Answer:
If there is a cemetery for the people of the Sunnah, then move him to it. As for you isolating him in a grave, that is not suitable. But as for the elevation of the grave, do not do it if you can avoid it. Yes.
