The participation of disbelievers in preparing the graves of Muslims
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: When digging the graves of Muslims, some foreign workers are present and participate in the digging, and they are non-Muslims. However, they do not participate in preparing the deceased or lowering the deceased into the grave. Is it permissible for non-Muslims to participate in preparing the graves of Muslims, where this participation is limited to digging and making the side chamber only, in exchange for an agreed-upon wage? Please inform us.
A: It is not permissible to use disbelievers to dig the graves of Muslims, especially in this Arabian Peninsula ; because they do not believe, and because it is not permissible to keep them in this Peninsula . Rather, one must work to remove them from it; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised to expel the disbelievers from the Arabian Peninsula so that no one remains in it except a Muslim. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
