Burying a woman and a man in the same grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible to bury a woman and a man in the same grave?
The Shaykh:
If there is a need, there is no harm. If there are many casualties and there is a need, there is no harm. There is nothing here to be feared from. They are placed between... the dead. There is nothing to be feared from. A barrier is placed between them. May Allah reward you. Made of earth, there is no harm. We have said this before, and there is no issue. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you. What is meant by "the most recent of the people"?
The Shaykh:
The most recent is the youngest in age.
