The costs of repatriating a deceased worker to his home country
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: One of my workers passed away, and the regulations require me to arrange his repatriation to his home country at my expense. However, his family has requested that he be buried here. Should I send the repatriation costs to his family, or is there nothing required of me?
Answer:
Since they have permitted him not to be repatriated, there is nothing required of you, because the purpose is repatriation to his family. If his family permits him to be buried in the place of his death, praise be to Allah; they have waived their right. Yes.
