Question
In the big cities of our country there are public cemeteries on behalf of the government. There are usually burials one by one from one direction. At one point the whole cemetery was full. Later the old grave was re-excavated and new graves were placed in it. The thing to know is, what is the sharia law of digging old graves and making new ones? 7694835274
Answer
- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -
If there is no free space for a new grave in the cemetery, it is permissible to bury the dead body in the old grave where there is a strong possibility that the dead body will become soil. Of course, if any bones etc. are found in the old grave while digging it, they will be buried together. 3316423872
