Summary
Malik said: the matter among us regarding one who digs up graves: if what is taken out of the grave reaches the value at which cutting is due, he owes the cutting, because the grave is a protected place for what is in it, as houses are a protected place for what is in them. He owes no cutting until he has taken it out of the grave. 1
