Explanation & Benefits
Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
This incident took place six months after the burial, and his body was exactly as it had been placed. Radi Allahu anhu wa ardah. It is thus established that if there is an extreme necessity, exhumation of the grave is permissible; otherwise, it is better to avoid it.
