Abstract : This study seeks to shed light on a phenomenon that has been considered one of the most mysterious and ambiguous phenomena in the history of the Islamic West, this is the phenomenon of digging up graves, as well as the domination of graves by burning and vandalism, as the motives and reasons behind this phenomenon varied due to the nature of the circumstances leading to its perpetration, the personality of its perpetrators and their victims, the political and sectarian conflicts that dominated the history of the Islamic West during that period were at the top of the motives and reasons led to the perpetration of such a heinous act, in most cases, such conflicts were associated with the permissibility and violation of the sanctity of their graves after their passing away, as a way to further Underestimating and take revenge on them despite the fact that Islam, in its legislation, has not called for the destruction of graves, or even harming them, it also forbade mutilation and tampering with corpses, and the study concluded that this heinous act hasn’t reached the level of a criminal phenomenon; that has been for many reasons, including surrounding such type of crimes with a fence of secrecy and concealment, as well as the reluctance of historians to chronicle such a matter, and the historical reality confirms that these deviations did not constitute a dominant nature, but rather affected individuals, and such deviations could not form a prominent current in Islamic West society.
