The burial of a man whose leg was found after his burial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A man died in an accident, and his leg was cut off and lost. After he was buried, it was found. Is it buried on its own, or is that possible?
The Shaykh:
Yes, indeed. He is prayed over, and that is sufficient. So the leg is washed, shrouded, and buried in a separate grave.
The questioner:
And if it is buried on its own, is a niche made for it, or is a grave simply dug for it?
The Shaykh:
A grave is dug for it that prevents the smell from escaping and protects it from being dug up by dogs, and this is done. But it is washed and shrouded with the shroud, yes.
