Answer

- حامداومصلياومسلما، بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم -

It is not permissible to bury a corpse or an old bone in a graveyard or any other place without a shar'i excuse. However, if a person is buried on his land without his permission and the owner of the land asks him to remove the body from his land, then it is permissible to transfer it. Similarly, when the grave becomes very old and it seems that the bones of the corpse have become earth (after about 10/12 years), other graves can be dug on it and if there is no waqfed graveyard, houses can be built on it, mosques, madrasas etc. can be built on it. It is permissible. 4631562677
