Must a grave that is about a meter high be demolished after the deceased has been buried for several months, and be made only a handspan high, and is there a sin for leaving the grave as it is, and will the deceased be held accountable for that?
The Sunnah is for the earth of the grave to be returned to it and elevated by a span. It is disliked to plaster it or raise it more than a span according to most scholars. So, it is best to adjust it to be elevated about a span from the ground.
