Ruling on transferring the deceased from the place of his death to his birthplace and residence

Question:
We begin with a breaking news report, according to what its source stated: Shaykh Hasan ibn Sa'id ibn Ma'ili passed away today, I believe at the Specialized Hospital. Is it permissible to transfer him to Yemen, or to Makkah, or should he be buried in the city of Riyadh? Please give us a ruling—may Allah reward you—and the signature is from his children and his group?

Answer:
May Allah forgive him, may Allah forgive Hasan ibn Sa'id. He was one of our brothers, a leader in Saba' Marib. May Allah forgive him and admit him into Paradise.
What we see is that he should not be transferred. He should be prayed for here and buried in the cemeteries here; because transferring him leads to problems:
First,: they might cut out his intestines, and this is mutilation of the body, which is not permissible, lest it shrink.
The second matter is that there is no need to transfer him to Yemen, nor to Makkah. A person is buried in the place where he died, as long as there is a Muslim cemetery there, he is buried with the Muslims.
So what we see is that he should not be transferred, but rather buried in the Muslim cemeteries here, and praise be to Allah; this is safety from unnecessary effort, and safety also from aggression against him and mutilation of his body for the sake of transferring him.
