Is it permissible to bury a wife with her husband in the same grave?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is permissible to bury a husband and wife in the same cemetery, but it is not permissible to bury them in the same grave unless there is a necessity. This is because it may lead to the combining of the righteous and pious with the wicked and wretched, and it harms the righteous by having a bad neighbor.
