Q 2: Is it a condition for lowering a woman into the grave that the one who enters the grave and lowers her into it be one of her mahrams ?
A 2:It is not required that the person who lowers the woman into her grave be a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, for it is narrated fromAnas(may Allah be pleased with him) who said:. It was narrated byal-Bukhari. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
A 2:It is not required that the person who lowers the woman into her grave be a mahram (a relative one may not marry) to her, for it is narrated fromAnas(may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
We attended the funeral of the daughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting on the grave. I saw his eyes shedding tears, so he said: "Is there among you anyone who did not have sexual intercourse with his wife last night?" Abu Talhah said: "I did not." He said: "Then go down into her grave." So he went down into her grave and buried her.
شهدنا بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم جالس على القبر، فرأيت عينيه تدمعان، فقال: هل فيكم من أحد لم يقارف الليلة؟ فقال أبو طلحة : أنا، قال: فانزل في قبرها فنزل في قبرها فقبرها
