We heard that every person, by the will of Allah the Exalted, is buried in the place from which he was created. Is this correct, O honorable Shaykh?

The questioner : He says in this question: We also heard that every person, by the will of Allah the Exalted, is buried in the place from which he was created. Is this correct, O honorable Shaykh?

The Shaykh : I do not know of any basis for this in the Book or the Sunnah that a person is buried in the place from which he was created. However, in a general sense, Allah the Exalted said regarding the earth:

From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.

مِنها خَلَقناكُم وَفيها نُعيدُكُم وَمِنها نُخرِجُكُم تارَةً أُخرى

[Taha 20:55]

And a person does not know in which land he will die, as He the Exalted said:

Indeed, Allah [alone] has knowledge of the Hour and sends down the rain and knows what is in the wombs. And no soul perceives what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul perceives in what land it will die

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عِندَهُ عِلمُ السّاعَةِ وَيُنَزِّلُ الغَيثَ وَيَعلَمُ ما فِي الأَرحامِ وَما تَدري نَفسٌ ماذا تَكسِبُ غَدًا وَما تَدري نَفسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرضٍ تَموتُ

[Luqman 31:34]

. Yes.
