Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the best course of action regarding the burial of the deceased, and is it permissible to transport their bodies to the lands of Muslims, especially since there are Muslim cemeteries in the lands of disbelievers? What is the best course of action for them?
Answer:
They should be buried with the Muslims, and there is no need for transport. If a person dies in the land of disbelief and there is a Muslim cemetery there, he is buried in the Muslim cemeteries. If he is transported, there is no blame on him, but not transporting him is preferable to avoid unnecessary hardship. The Muslims used to die in many lands and were buried in the Muslim cemeteries in those regions; they were not transported to al-Madinah or anywhere else.
