Transferring the Deceased to Another Grave

Question

What is the ruling on transferring the deceased from one grave to another if he had requested during his life to be buried next to so-and-so?

Answer

I say, and with God's success: His will is not considered, and it is disliked as a sin to transfer it from one place to another, and God knows best.
