A stranger was received and died in my care

The third question of fatwa number ( 16386 )
Q 3: If I received a stranger and he died in my care, is it obligatory for me to bury him?
A 3 : It is obligatory for a Muslim to bury his Muslim brother if he dies and there is no one among his relatives to take charge of him after washing him, shrouding him, and praying over him; because this is a collective obligation. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
