The question

Is it forbidden to bury a mother next to her mother in an adjacent grave, knowing that the mother's dying wish was not to be buried with her mother due to ill-treatment, and despite the possibility of burial in charity graves, but the shock of death affected the decision?

The answer

There is no objection to burying the mother in the aforementioned place. A will to be buried in a specific place is not obligatory to fulfill, as Al-Dumairi stated, quoting Al-Qaffal, that it is like someone who willed that so-and-so pray over them; it is not binding on the heirs, but rather recommended.
