Is it permissible to bury a Muslim in the graveyards of disbelievers?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner from outside this country asks: Is it permissible to bury a Muslim in the graveyards of disbelievers?

The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible to bury him in the graveyards of disbelievers; rather, he is to be buried in the graveyards of Muslims. If Muslims do not have graveyards in the country where he died, he is to be transported and buried with the Muslims wherever they are. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable today.

The Shaykh:
Transportation is very easy. Yes.
