The ruling on moving a father's body from the graves of the polytheists

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: My father passed away more than twenty years ago, and he was buried in the graves of the polytheists. His question is: Should I move him from this cemetery, or should I leave him?

Answer:
You must move him from the cemetery of the polytheists and bury him with the Muslims, if there is a Muslim cemetery in the country. Otherwise, move him to a Muslim country, and do not leave him in the graves of the disbelievers.
