Exhuming Old Graves When the Cemetery Becomes Crowded

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If the cemetery becomes crowded, is it permissible to exhume the old graves and gather them in a single grave?

Answer:
My brother, the earth is vast, praise be to Allah. The earth of Allah is vast; they make a second cemetery. If a cemetery becomes crowded, it is closed off and a second cemetery is made. Yes.
