Özet:

The subject of tomb construction has a side that concerns Islamic law, just as it does in other branches of science. In this study, the construction and decoration of the tomb was examined and how the tomb shape should be in accordance with Islam was discussed. The hadiths of the Hz. Prophet on this subject are included and how Islamic scholars evaluate the narrations in question is examined. It has been observed that some groups have a more strict stance on this issue, while others have a more moderate approach to the issue. In addition, it has been mentioned that practices such as tomb making and tombstone decoration, which can be differentiated in every part of the society, are intertwined with traditions. In this context, it is said that the Turks continued their actions and beliefs about burial and grave decoration before they became Muslims, albeit partially, after their conversion to Islam. Islam is not against decoration and art, but to prevent objectionable practices such as sanctifying cemeteries or worshiping on graves the tomb is made high from the ground, it is very ostentatious and ornate, there are sculptures on its walls, etc. Processing images, constructing a mosque or other buildings on the grave, and not having elements that prevent contemplation and thinking about death were deemed more suitable for the essence of Islam. In this respect, in our study, first of all, opinions about the construction and decoration of tombs in Islamic law will be given and how the interior and exterior design of the tombs should be questioned. The issue of depiction, which is important for our subject, will also be discussed in the context of cemeteries and the views of the scholars on the subject will be mentioned. In addition, the extent to which the Turks, who are an example of the interaction of culture and Islamic law, comply with Islamic rules in the tombs they built after Islamization will be examined.
