Dispute with Ismaili relatives over the burial of a deceased person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I have some relatives from the Ismaili sect. When one of our relatives who follows their school of thought passes away, we dispute with them over the body. They want to bury the deceased according to their method, while we want to take our relative, even if he is Ismaili, and bury him ourselves, so that they do not perform their innovations during the burial. They call the adhan at the grave and recite the takbir of the congregation. What is the solution? Do we bury him, or do we leave it to them to bury him? And if we bury him, do we wash him and shroud him?
Answer:
This is a dispute, my brother, in which you should return to the judge to rule between you. Yes.
