The questioner : That is sufficient for us.
The Shaykh : Interpreter.
The questioner : If the deceased is buried on the surface of the ground, and if we dug a grave from below, water would come out.
The Shaykh : This is a case of dire necessity. Building upon this in this situation falls under the category of dire necessity, if it is not possible to dig for him because the ground is soft and water seeps into the dug area, then this becomes a case of dire necessity.
