Question

Is it permissible to bury in multi-level graves, a double plot, or only in a regular grave?

Answer

It is forbidden to bury in multi-level graves. It is permissible to use a double plot if one deceased is placed above the other with 60 cm of earth between them, and both are within the ground.
