The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner from France says: My mother is a Christian, and she has passed away. He asks: What should I do with her body? Is it permissible for me to pay money so that she is buried there?
The Shaykh:
Where she passed away. Here.
The questioner:
France.
The Shaykh:
In France, she is buried with the Muslims. Are there Muslims in France who have cemeteries?
The questioner:
Christian.
The Shaykh:
She is a Christian, so she is buried with the Christians. A disbeliever is buried with disbelievers, and a Muslim is buried with Muslims. Yes.
