Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on burial in the Mu'alla cemetery, where the deceased is removed from the grave after a period and then buried in another location? And is there any virtue mentioned regarding burial there?
Answer:
No, this is a gift to the deceased. They do this for the sake of blessing; they do this to seek blessing. This is not permissible. Praise be to Allah. Let them establish a cemetery in al-'Adl, a cemetery in al-'Adl, in al-Abtah, and bury them there.
