Martin Place siege gunman Man Haron Monis may be buried within days at an undisclosed location in Melbourne after the Sydney Muslim reportedly community refused to bury him.

His body was reportedly accepted by friends of Monis and his partner Amirah Droudis, News Corp reports.

Droudis is currently behind bars after her bail on a murder charge was revoked following the siege.

She is accused of killing Monis's ex-wife and has been on bail for 12 months.

Noleen Hayson Pal was stabbed 18 times and set on fire in the stairwell of an apartment building in Werrington in Western Sydney in April 2013.

Monis was recently praised in an ISIL propaganda magazine, with other would-be western extremists urged to follow his example.

"It didn't take much; he got hold of a gun and stormed a cafe taking everyone inside hostage," the foreword of English-language magazine Dabiq read.

"Yet in doing so, he prompted mass panic, brought terror to the entire nation, and triggered an evacuation of parts of Sydney's central business district.

"The blessings in his efforts were apparent from the very outset."
