Question:
Is it permissible to place two dead people in one grave on any occasion?
Answer:
If it is possible to bury them in two graves, that is the Sunnah (recommended practice), and it is disliked to bury them together except in cases of dire necessity, such as being unable to obtain two graves due to fear, or because of a large number of dead people. In such cases, there is nothing wrong with burying them together, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) buried two and three people in one grave on the day of Uhud because of the large number of casualties and the injuries of the Companions. However, if it is easy for each person to have their own grave, that is what is prescribed, and they should not be buried together except in a state of dire necessity, such as a large number of dead people, the difficulty of placing each person in a separate grave, or fear if one were to sit and dig two graves for reasons that necessitate fear. Yes.
