Answer

Praise be to Allah, and blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:

We put this question to Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, who replied as follows:

It is not permitted, and this woman should not be listened to. He should not be buried anywhere except with the Muslims (in the Muslim graveyard).
