Does the reckoning of the deceased in the grave pause if men and women are buried together out of necessity until they are separated?
There is no harm in burying a man in a women's cemetery or vice-versa, for Muslim cemeteries gather the graves of both men and women. If necessity dictates burying a man and a woman in one grave, there is no objection to it; the man is placed first, and the woman behind him. What was mentioned in the question about the reckoning stopping if a man is buried with women has no basis.
