Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: If a man wills before his death to be buried in a specific cemetery, is his will carried out or not?

Answer:
If this is feasible, there is nothing wrong with it. If it is feasible to transfer him to the place he willed to be buried in, there is nothing wrong with it. If it is not feasible, he is buried in the place where he died, among the Muslims. He is buried in the Muslim cemeteries, and praise be to Allah.
