Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If the deceased left a will to be buried in a specific cemetery, or to be taken to a specific city, is it permissible to carry out his will?
Answer:
If he left a will to be buried in one of the two Holy Mosques and it is possible, his will is carried out, because this is for a valid purpose. As for other than the two Holy Mosques, all land is the same; it is all the same. He is buried with the Muslims in any place. Yes.
