Sealing a grave with concrete so that no one else could be buried there
Question
Is it jaaiz to seal the grave with concrete so that no one else could be buried there?
Answer
Sealing a grave is not in accordance with the sunnat and the way of the pious, and if it is done in a waqf property or property that does not belong to you then it is wrong and impermissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
