The answer

It has been previously established that the Islamic legal tradition dictates burying each deceased individual in a separate grave, and it is not permissible to exhume a grave to bury another person with them. Furthermore, it is disliked to bury two deceased individuals together in one grave if they died simultaneously. Therefore, the statement that burying a child with the deceased alleviates the torment of the grave for them is incorrect, as it contradicts the Shari'a.
