Question

If a corpse is buried in a cemetery in our area, after 2/1 years all the graves in the cemetery are destroyed and a new corpse is buried in that place. As there is no sign of the grave, it is not possible to visit it standing near the grave. In this case, can the grave be moved from that graveyard to another place? So that the children of the dead can always stand by the grave and pay obeisance. 2166677845


Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

It is forbidden in the eyes of Shari'ah to move the body of a dead person to another place after burial in a graveyard. So the grave cannot be moved elsewhere because of the described excuses. Moreover, it is not necessary to have a grave mark to visit the grave. However, if the land of another has been forcibly occupied and buried and the owner of that land objects, it is permissible to transfer the body. It is not permissible to transfer a body without such an excuse. It is to be noted that after burial, before burying the body, the grave should be leveled without any excuse and it should not be used for burying others. 9442521295
