Is it permissible to dig up a grave?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
When one of the Companions dug up his father's grave, is that considered permissible?

Answer:
This is Jabir ibn 'Abdullah. If there is a benefit, such as the location being unsuitable, or a place prone to flooding, or a place on a road, or if there is another person with him and he wishes to separate each one to their own place, there is nothing wrong with it; for the sake of benefit; because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not rebuke Jabir.
