How to bury more than one person in a grave

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: How are two people placed in the same grave?

A: The more virtuous of the two is placed facing the qiblah, and the less virtuous is placed next to him. Each of them is placed on his right side, facing the qiblah. If there is a need to bury a third person with them, there is no harm in it; for it is established that he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered on the day of Uhud that two or three people be buried in one grave, and he ordered that the one with the most Qur'an be placed facing the qiblah.
