The building of structures over graves

[Bari🐍]

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prohibited building over graves, sitting upon them, or praying over them.

For a people as religious as Somalis, I find it interesting that they built tombs for important characters.

Here are examples:

Sheikh Darood's Tomb:

Sheikh Isaaq's Tomb:

Dombiro's Tomb:

Sheikh Samaroon's Tomb:

Sheikh Issa's Tomb:

Harti's Tomb:

Aw-Barkhadle's Tomb:

You will also find other tombs, some less elaborate built on graves across Somaliweyn.

Truth be told, it is makrooh or haram depending on the position you follow, but it would probably make a lot of people angry if they were to get destroyed. It is maybe less harmful to leave them as they are.

Look, don't destroy Somalis' belief they originate from Arabs. My dad got angry when I tried to bring up the topic.

We don’t worship them but our descendants might if enough time passes just like the people of Nuh a.s. That’s why it’s haram

Place down signs.

Some Somali sufu's already worship graves.

You could but it’s not worth the risk. I’d rather not have Somalis centuries from now running around worshiping darood or issaq

Those people are lost.

Turn them into heritage sites and don't allow anyone to access them
