Son in-law going into the grave to bury the mother in-law
Q: Can a son in-law go in the grave to bury the mother in-law?
Janaazah
Tombstones
Q: According to a Sahih Hadith of Abu Dawood the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) had installed a head stone on the grave of a Sahabi for the purpose of identification in order that other family members could be buried near him. Accordingly the majority of the Ulama (including the salafi scholars are also in agreement) a grave stone can be installed as a marker. However the members of the managing committee of the graveyard of our town are forcibly stopping people from acting on this hadith giving their own personal reasons. Are they justified in forcibly preventing their Muslim brethren to act on a proven example of our beloved Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)? Please give your opinion.

Still born child
Q:
1. Going through tough times. My wife delivered a stillborn baby boy two weeks ago, please make dua that Allah keeps us both patient. We fully accept and are happy with the decree of Allah, we just feel sad and empty. There was an issue regarding the burial and washing and clothing of our son. I understand that because our son was a stillborn and was born dead no janazah was required. But what about ghusl and shrouding with white cloth, were they obligatory or not? My father asked a maulana and he said to bury him as he is. In the state of grieving I completely overlooked and was not thinking about this issue.
2. If deceased children are in their graves, how is it that some hadith say that they are with Ibrahim peace be upon him in jannah. Are dead people not in their graves in bliss or torment? And only go jannah or jahanam after the day of judgement?
