Ruling on burying a man and a woman in the same grave
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to bury a man and a woman in the same grave?
Answer:
If there is a dire necessity, otherwise the Sunnah is for each person to be in a separate grave. But if there are many dead and it becomes difficult for people, it is better to place a barrier of earth between them.
Q: Even if they are not mahram (a relative one may not marry)?
The Shaykh: Even if they are not her mahram.
