Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for a Muslim to carry the coffin of a dead disbeliever and lower it into his grave during the disbelievers’ funeral rites when they bury their dead?
Answer:
No, a Muslim does not participate in the funeral of a disbeliever. The disbelievers themselves take care of it, unless he dies and there is no one among the disbelievers present. Then his body is buried. His body is buried. Yes. And it is not buried in the Muslims’ cemeteries; it is buried in the open ground or in a place far from the town and from the Muslims’ cemeteries. Yes.
