Burying Muslim Dead in Lands of Minorities

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a Muslim to enter lands of the parties, so that his identity specific to Muslims is not severed from the bond and agreement, or is it not required that he be sent to Islam?

Answer:
It is obligatory for Muslims in the minorities in lands of the disbelievers to allocate a cemetery for Muslims, in which they bury their dead, and a Muslim must not be buried with the graves of the polytheists; this is never permissible. If they are transferred to the lands of the Muslims and that is possible, there is no harm, but they should make cemeteries for Muslims that are exclusive to them, and they should build walls and barriers for them to prevent their desecration.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
