The Bequest to Be Buried in al-Madinah or Makkah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe. Those who bequeath that they be buried in al-Madinah or in Makkah or elsewhere, are these bequests to be executed?
Answer:
The closest option is not to be ruled out; everyone is buried in their own land. The Companions did not transport the dead from Mu'tah to the cemetery in al-Madinah or Makkah. The Sunnah is to be buried in one's own land, and praise be to Allah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence the Shaykh, and may Allah bless you and your knowledge, and may He benefit Islam and the Muslims through you.
