What is the ruling on collecting bones (a ribcage connected to bones, and the shroud is almost completely worn out) in a place called "Al-Ma'dhama" next to the grave, which is a deep pit where these bones are placed one above the other with a stone separator between the skeletons of men and the skeletons of women?

Graves may not be exhumed except out of necessity or if the body has decomposed and no flesh or bones remain. It is not permissible to exhume graves due to their narrowness; one must search for other graves. If none are available, then bury your dead outside inhabited areas.
