Question:
He says: In our country, there is a designated area for graves, a specific plot shared by the entire family, with one section for men and another for women. There are individuals in the family who do not pray, and some women who do not wear the hijab. So what is the situation if the committed ones pass away among them, and what are the others required to do?
Answer:
As for the one who does not pray, he is a disbeliever. If he dies while not praying, he is a disbeliever and is not to be buried with the Muslims. Not with his relatives or any other Muslims. He is to be buried in the graves of disbelievers, or buried alone in a wilderness away from people. As for the one who does not adhere to the hijab, she is a sinner, not a disbeliever. She is a Muslim, but she is a sinner, and she is buried with the Muslims.
