Son in law burying his mother in law
Question
Is it permissible for a son in law to bury his mother in law who only has daughters?
Answer
Yes, it is permissible. Though it is better that her other mahram relatives (e.g. her nephews) go in the qabr to bury her.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
