Question
Nowadays a tractor is used to fill the graves in the qabrustaan in Lenasia. The people are scared to come near to the Qabar for fear of the covid virus. Is this permissible?
Answer
It is haraam to use a tractor to fill the Qabar without valid Shar'i reason. This is an incumbent duty on Muslims who have to fill the Qabar by hand. There are also Masnoon Duas to be recited whilst pouring sand into the Qabar with one's hands. The cowardice and the kufr of Muslims are adequately mirrored by the tractor. The theories of the atheists have displaced their Imaan.
