Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person is asking about a Muslim who died in the lands of the disbelievers; he died in the lands of the disbelievers and was buried in the cemetery of the disbelievers, and no funeral prayer was performed for him. This is the result of a Muslim living among the disbelievers; these are the matters this causes for him. But he says that after a period of time, he was taken out of the cemetery of the disbelievers and a funeral prayer was performed for him. Praise be to Allah, the intended purpose was achieved.

Answer:
The intended purpose was achieved, if his Muslim brothers took him out of the cemetery of the disbelievers and buried him in the cemetery of the Muslims and performed the funeral prayer for him. Praise be to Allah.
