The Sanctity of a Muslim's Grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
There is a hadith in al-Tabarani and al-Hakim, and al-Safarini mentioned it in his commentary on the *Thalathiyat* of Imam Ahmad's Musnad, and he did not comment on it regarding the issue of a man coming to Ibn Abbas while he was in i'tikaf,So he said: Why do I see you looking dejected?He said: I have a worry or a debt or something like that, no, by the sanctity of this grave! I cannot ...... Then he left Ibn Abbas and relieved himself, likewise, the hadith of Ibn Abbas passed by me when he supplicated and asked for rain, so they drank, and the people started rubbing themselves against him, and I do not know the authenticity of that?
I do not know the authenticity or the chains of narration of either of the two hadiths,But the first aspect: The sanctity of a Muslim's grave, just as a Muslim's house in this world is respected, a Muslim's grave is respected,For this reason, the scholars said: It is not permissible to bury a dead person on top of a dead person, such as a grave that we come to dig up again to place another dead person in it, for this is not permissible.
As for the second rubbing, if this hadith is authentic, there is no practice based on it; because one does not seek blessing from his sweat or his clothing or his hair except from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner: Regarding the grave of the first dead person, only bones remain from him, is it permissible to place another dead person on top of it?The Shaykh: The scholars say: It is not permissible until it becomes dust, but the practice of people now in narrow places—as I said—they do it.
