Question
In our area, bamboo is placed about 2 feet high by placing the body in the grave. The idea of the people is that when the corpse is to be placed for question and answer, the head should not be covered with bamboo. It can sit well. And in the case of depth, some are more deep and some less. So I want to know, A. What should be the depth of the grave? B. Is it right to keep the grave empty so that the corpse can sit? 9647574654

A. The depth of the grave should be such that the corpse is protected from the stench of the corpse and also from the attack of wild animals. So at least the waist amount should be deepened. If possible, it is better to deepen the whole body. Caliphate of Muslims Umar. Before his death, his grave bequeathed to him the length of a man's body. (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6/324) B. To place a person lying in a grave, to ask and answer questions, must be done in an invisible world called Baryakh. It has nothing to do with the provisions of shroud-burial. So we don't need to think about how the bridegroom will sit, where the angels will be, etc. All this will happen by the command and might of Allah. So the rule is to keep the bamboos near the corpse without leaving much space in the grave. 8774872278
