Q: Some Muslims are puzzled
about using bricks of iron and cement to close a grave after burial.
They see it reprehensible because these bricks are baked in kilns. I have searched in relevant books for evidence that supports this reprehensibility, but in vain. Therefore, I hope Your Eminence will tell us the ruling on the use of bricks of iron and cement in closing a grave, and whether it is permissible to keep on using it (Part No. 7; Page No. 311) because it is easier for people or should they use adobes to close a grave instead? Take into account that this is the undertakers' business.
A: If there are available strong adobes, it will take priority over the cement bricks in closing a Lahd (a crevice on the side of a grave facing the direction faced for Prayer). However, one may use cement bricks when adobes are unavailable or unaffordable because there is no proof that prohibits the use of cement bricks.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
