Transporting the deceased for burial in Makkah or al-Madinah

Question:
The Shaykh al-Muwaqqaf who is tested by him, is there acceptance of an oath, or does this differ in practice, or because it occurred in al-Madinah or specifically for that, can it be practiced for him?

Answer:
The deceased is benefited by nothing except his deeds, wherever he is buried in the earth, he is benefited by nothing except his deeds, and the location does not benefit him. However, if one dies in al-Madinah or in Makkah and is buried there, that is a good thing. As for the effort to transport him from a distant place, that effort to transport him has no evidence for it. The Companions, who are the best of the nation, died in Iraq, in the East, in the West, in Egypt, and in Sham, and they were the most eager people for good, yet they did not transport [the deceased] to Makkah or to al-Madinah, because they knew that nothing benefits a person except his deeds, wherever he is, even if he is in the sea, on land, in the air with birds, or in the air with beasts, nothing benefits him except his deeds. Yes.
