Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
To what extent should the grave be raised above the ground?

Answer:
The prescribed height is a shibr and what is around it. The grave of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was raised to the height of a shibr, or approximately that. However, raising it significantly is not permissible.
