Is Buying The Burial Place In Advance Allowed?
In the absence of anything immoral or unethical, there is no reason to consider it prohibited . Imam Ahmed bin Hambal is also reported to have said: لا بَأْسَ أن يَشْتَرِىَ الرَّجُلُ مَوْضِعَ قَبْرِه، ويُوصِىَ أن يُدْفَنَ فيه، فَعَلَ ذلك عثمانُ بنُ عَفانَ، وعائشةُ، وعمرُ بن عبدِ العزِيزِ، رَضِىَ اللهُ عنهم “ There is nothing wrong with a man buying the site of his grave and leaving a will instructing that he be buried there. Uthman bin Affan did that, as did Aisha and Umar bin Abd al Aziz (may Allaah be pleased with them all) “. ( Writes Ibn-e-Qudama Al-Hambali in Al-Mughni – 3/443 ) (Dar-ul-Alam al Kutb Saudia, Third Edition)
