The ruling on following the funeral of a Christian
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to follow the funeral of a Christian?
Answer:
No, he does not follow the funeral of a Christian, nor does he attend its burial. If he has awliya (close friends of Allah) who are disbelievers, they are the ones who bury him. If he has no awliya, he is buried and covered, but he is not buried in the graves of Muslims. He is buried either in the open ground or in the graves of the disbelievers, if they have a cemetery. Yes.
