Question

Maulvi Bazar District, Kulaura Thana 1 Baramkali Union Shahkhala Rah. The servant of this Mokam "Rajashah" saw in a dream that a dead man named Gujashah said to him in his sleep, "You bury my grave vertically from east to west." At present that servant has constructed a paved tomb on the east side of the tomb with three steps on the chest. Is it legal for Bangladeshis to bury in East-West length? 2718828751

Answer

It is the religious custom of the Muslims to place the dead on the right side with the chest and face towards the Qibla, which is prescribed by the Shari'ah. Since the qibla in Bangladesh is on the west side, it is important to lengthen the grave north-south to make the dead face the qibla. So, if someone burys a long grave in the east-west, it will be considered as against the Shari'ah and against the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). It is a sign of his misguidance and misguidance. Moreover, the preparation of graves is also forbidden in the Shari'ah. In Muslim society, such vile deeds must be prevented and resisted as much as possible. 4664927128
