The Shaykh : The recommendation of what?
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : Yes, yes, some scholars recommended this. They said: It should be that the righteous are gathered in one place, because if a non-righteous person is punished in the grave, perhaps his neighbors will be affected by some of the punishment, meaning the pain.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, it is not said. For this reason, we do not mention this to people because it is a problem, as many harms arise from it. It is said, "This is an open sinner, remove him," and it is said, "This is a righteous person, take him to the place of the other righteous ones," and so on. Harm results from this.
