Burying the dead in their vehicle when it is not possible to remove them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
I found something else. There was a need despite their livelihood, and they were in the car. They approached it, but he was unable to remove them from the car. So, is it permissible to bury them in the car?

The Shaykh:
Yes, there is no harm. If one is unable to remove them from the car, or if removing them would cause them to be torn apart and their limbs to be lost, then there is no harm in digging a grave and burying them in the car. And praise be to Allah. Fear Allah as much as you are able. Yes.

The questioner:
And.

The Shaykh:
The prayer is performed for them before burial, and then they are buried in the car. Yes.
