Exhumation of the Deceased

Question
A woman requested to see her deceased father when one of the relatives buried him. The grave of her father was opened in the family cemetery, which is a vault, knowing that the father passed away 17 years ago. What is the ruling on that?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is disliked to the extent of being sinful to uncover the dead, and God knows best.
