The questioner : My daughter, who was three months old, passed away. When I arrived at the graves, I found a woman's funeral. The people present said: "Bury your daughter with the woman in one grave," so I buried her. Is that permissible?
The Shaykh : What has passed is not to be questioned about, and I hope that Allah the Exalted will gather them with the people of righteousness and goodness. The Sunnah is for every person to be in a separate grave, except in cases of dire necessity, such as when there are many dead and few to dig graves. In that case, there is no harm in combining two or more in one grave, as was done with the martyrs of Uhud (may Allah be pleased with them), and the one with the most Qur'an recitation is placed closest to the qiblah. Yes.
