Is it obligatory to dig the grave deep enough to reach the bottom of the earth?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May Allah reward you. Regarding sandy soil, if one reaches solid ground only after digging a great distance?

The Shaykh : It is not obligatory, it is not obligatory. What is required is that it be deep enough to prevent wild animals and the smell, and it is not required to reach the bottom of the earth.
