Question
After a mayyit was buried it was realized that the body was placed with the back towards the Qiblah. If this happens will it be proper to open up the grave to place the body facing the Qiblah?
Answer
It is not permissible to open up the grave for this purpose. Allah Ta'ala had willed that the mayyit be turned away from the Qiblah. May Allah Ta'ala save us from such disaster.
