However, there are issues and circumstances when this is  extremely necessary. For example sometimes dead body of a person who  has been murdered needs to be studied. Sometimes we bury an unknown  person whose relatives may later be found and insist on removing the  remains of the dead. In such cases the body can be removed and studied. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-14<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6363\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the religious rulings about opening a grave or removing a body?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1177],"tags":[2206,1156,1291],"class_list":["post-6363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-islamic-customs","tag-dead-body","tag-grave","tag-graveyard"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
