Burying the deceased in the house
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
A man buried his stillborn son from the ninth month in a corner of the house. Is it permissible for him to dig up the grave and bury him in the cemetery, or what is required of him?The Shaykh: Did he wash him, shroud him, and pray over him?The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh: It is better that he dig it up now, take his remains, and transfer them to the cemetery.
The questioner: A long time has passed.
The Shaykh: There is no harm; he should dig it up now and take his remains, because if it remains, it occupies a space in the house.And if it is walled up, it becomes a problem that it be said: This is a grave, and after many years have passed, it might be taken as an idol.
