Is there any Sharia evidence for the permissibility of burying a deceased person with the intention of transferring them a week later to their family's place of residence?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The words mentioned at the time of burial of the deceased have no basis, and it is not permissible to exhume the grave to move the deceased except out of necessity, such as burying him without ritual washing (ghusl), or for an overriding benefit, such as moving him for fear of harm.
