Burying next to the house in fulfillment of the deceased's will
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: A man left a will for his family stating that when he dies, they should bury him next to the house,
The Shaykh:
meaning his house? Yes.
The questioner:
and they buried him by his house, not in the cemetery. Is this action permissible?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not permissible. He would be buried alone and exposed to harm and insult, or people might later believe he is a wali (close friend of Allah) and that he is buried with the Muslims. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
