Question:
A questioner says: In our country, the cemeteries are non-Shari'ah. Is it permissible to bury the deceased in them?
Answer:
How are they non-Shari'ah? Are they not the Muslims' cemeteries? The deceased is buried in the Muslims' cemeteries in any place, whether in the lands of the disbelievers or in the lands of the Muslims. If there are cemeteries for Muslims, the deceased is buried with them. If there are no Muslim cemeteries, then no, he is not buried in the disbelievers' cemeteries, nor is he buried with the disbelievers; rather, he is transferred. Yes.
