The Ruling on the Soil of a Graveyard

Question

Is the soil of a graveyard, or the ground of a graveyard, pure, or is it heavy najasah (najasah ghalizah)?

Answer

If there is no impurity [on it], then the soil on top will not be called impure (najis) merely because the dead are inside the graves.
