Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener 'Abd al-Majid al-Hizam from al-Muzaymiyah says: A man passed away and left a bequest to be buried in a specific place, which is the village where he was born. Is it obligatory to carry out this bequest?

Answer:
If it is feasible, that is better in fulfilling his wish. If it is not feasible, he is buried in any place where he died, with the Muslims. Yes.
