Ruling on burying more than one person in a single grave

Question:
After this, a message reached the program from Riyadh, sent by the listener Muhammad 'Abd al-Mu'min. He asks and says: Is it possible to bury a mother with her son in a single grave?
Answer:
If the need calls for it, otherwise the Sunnah is for each person to be in a separate grave. But if there are many deceased and the hardship is great, it is permissible to gather two or three in a single grave, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did on the day of Uhud. As for when the need is not pressing, the land is available, and the burial can be done without hardship, the Sunnah is for each deceased person to be in a grave by himself. This is the Sunnah, unless severe need or dire necessity calls for burying two or three, in which case there is no harm. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
