The ruling on re-burying a deceased person in a previous grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question : I have seen people in some countries where, if a person dies or if there is more than one deceased person in the cemetery, they place them or bring them up. Is this permissible?
Answer : No, meaning in some regions they also deepen the grave. Then, after a short period, when it is known that the deceased has decomposed, they dig and bury another person. That is why you find them in layers. This is the author's statement: it is not permissible. May Allah will that it is with you during the break. In reality, this is subject to the country's own regulations. There may not be a machine, or they may eat into the burial spaces, forcing them into such a situation.
