Purchasing a grave in a qabrastaan

Q: Is it permissible to buy a qabar (grave) in a qabristan and keep it only for the family members who die? No outsiders are allowed to be buried in it.

A: If that plot is bought from the actual owner then it is permissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
