If the Woman is lowered into her Grave by someone other than her Mahram

Question :

I am a man whose leg is cut off and I had a wife who was stricken with an illness. She was moved to one of the hospitals in the Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia) and I was with her until she died. Then, after her death, she was taken to the graveyard by an ambulance and some of the hospital workers went along while I was with them. When it was time to lower her into the grave, these men who were not related to her (i.e., the hospital workers) lowered her into the grave by themselves. I was unable to do it because of my leg. I am uncertain about this matter. Is there any sin on me for this, and is there anything wrong with men who are not related to a woman lowering her into her grave? Please benefit me with a reply.

Answer:

There is no harm if people other than a woman's Maharim (the plural of Mahram) lower her into her grave. The Mahram has only been made a condition for the woman to travel and not for lowering her into her grave. And Allâh is the Giver of success.
