In our country, graves are designed in such a way that their length, not width, is in the direction of the Qiblah


420

A: According to the Shari`ah (Islamic law), the deceased is to be placed in the grave on their right side and the head is in the direction of the Qiblah, for this is what was authentically reported from the Prophet (peace be upon him). Therefore, whatever contradicts this way is not Mashru` (Islamically permissible) and hence should be given up.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
