We bury the dead by scattering earth directly over the body without making a barrier between the Lahd and the grave

Q 2: In Al-Harth province, in Jizan area, we bury the dead by scattering earth directly over the body without making a barrier between the Lahd (crevice on the side of a grave facing the direction for Prayer) and the grave. Is this correct? We asked one of the people who lead Prayers and supervise burials, and he replied that these measures are correct. We are in dire need for the correct ruling. May Allah bless you!

A 2: It is impermissible to scatter dust over the body of a dead person without placing him in a Lahd and the like and sealing the body inside with bricks, stones and the like, except when necessary.May Allah grant you success! May peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions!
