What should one do if his father died and he buried him in the courtyard of the house, knowing that this action is not permissible, given that this was forty years ago?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of the brothers buried his father in the courtyard of the house.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : He buried his father in the courtyard of the house, the courtyard, the yard, the yard. So now the man realized that this action is not permissible, because one does not bury [a body] where it died except for a martyr. So the man was convinced, and his father said to him—and it has been forty years—so now he wants to raise him. What is your opinion? He wants to move him to the Muslim cemetery.
The student : The answer to this, I know, I know, and so even... let us hear the answer, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : I did not understand the situation now, I did not understand it?
The student : My lord, this is a man whose father passed away.
The Shaykh : Passed away!
The student : And he buried him in the yard of his house.
The Shaykh : What was the reason?
The student : And now the legal ruling has become clear to him, but is this answer correct?
The Shaykh : When was the burial?
The student : Forty years ago.
The Shaykh : The grave is removed, the grave is removed and dug up; if there are bones, they are moved to a cemetery near the house, and if they have become, as is likely, dust, then Allah is sufficient for the believers in battle.
The student : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I bear witness that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and I repent to You.
The student : From the Muslims.
The Shaykh : Who said?
The student : He himself is dust.
The Shaykh : He himself?
The student : Yes, go ahead, O 'Ajaj.
The Shaykh : We do not have [the ruling] that a martyr is buried in his house; rather, a martyr is buried in the battlefield, in the land of the battlefield. And what is the connection of this to the issue?
The student : This is his father; his father is here with me; it has no connection.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : He buried his father in the courtyard of the house, the courtyard, the yard, the yard.
