Islamic Ruling on Buying Grave Space
The cost of buying grave space must be paid from the deceased’s wealth, not from the heirs’ personal money.
Islamic scholars explain that if grave space is purchased for burial, the price must come from the deceased’s estate (taraka). The heirs are not required to spend their personal wealth for burial expenses. Imam Shafi’i رحمه الله said: “The shroud, perfume, and burial expenses of the deceased are taken from his wealth. Creditors and heirs cannot prevent this.” (Al-Umm 2/595)
