The ruling on burying a deceased person in the grave of another deceased person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your second question, Abu 'Abdullah. The second question, may Allah prolong your life: We have graves from a long time ago, from the front, fifty or forty years old. Some of them are occupied, with one person in a grave up to five, six, or even ten. Now, this is what is happening.
Answer:
My brother, if the grave is designated for one person, it is not permissible for anyone else to be buried in it, because it is exclusive to him and has become his residence. However, if the grave is spacious, like a room or a cistern as they call it, and can accommodate several deceased people, then there is no harm in that. Yes.
