Purchasing land adjacent to a Muslim cemetery endowment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This question is from Canada. The questioner says: There is a cemetery specifically for disbelievers, which is fenced in. A part of it has been designated for Muslims, and their graves are without a fence. Next to the Muslim graves is a vacant piece of land. My question is: A group of people agreed to purchase this portion so that no disbeliever is buried next to a Muslim grave. Will this be a continuous charity for them?
Answer:
Yes, this is an endowment (waqf) if they purchase it with their own money and dedicate it for the deceased Muslims to be buried in it. This is a continuous charity. It is a charitable endowment that contains much good and benefit for the Muslims by keeping the funerals of Muslims away from the disbelievers, from the graves of the disbelievers. May Allah reward them with good and reward them. Yes.
