Building a structure on the grave
Question
Please advise:
The Qabrs of Ambiya عليهم السلام, Awliyaa of the past رحمهم الله تعالى etc. especially overseas are built upon. Is this something permitted in other mazahib? Is this something that should be rectified?
Someone had seen this link as well and was inquiring if this is a website that is reliable.

Answer
Building a structure on the grave is prohibited in the Hadith. Hence, the prohibition will apply to all situations.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
