Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If a man bequeaths that he be buried in Makkah or with the Prophet, yes, is this bequest valid, and is it obligatory to carry it out?

The Shaykh:
It is valid, but it is not obligatory to carry it out.

The questioner:
So, is it permissible in any place that is convenient among the Muslims?

The Shaykh:
And if you are brought in, there is no harm. If you are brought in and placed in Makkah or al-Madinah, there is no harm. But there is no [UNTRANSLATED: walada] in this.
