Q 3: A Muslim died in
France,
and it was very hard to transport his corpse to his home country. There is no cemetery for Muslims in the city where he died. Is it permissible for us to bury him in
a Christian
cemetery? (Part No. 8; Page No. 455) Also, there is no special place for washing the corpse of Muslims except for that of
the Christians.
Can we wash the corpses of dead people in these places if it is difficult to wash the corpse of the dead person in his house?
A:
If Muslims do not have a special cemetery for them, a dead-Muslim person
should not be buried in a non-Muslims' cemetery. Muslims should find a place in the desert where they can bury him. The grave should be leveled with the surface of the ground in order not to be disentombed. It will be better to transport the corpse to a place where there is a special graveyard for Muslims if it is easy to do so without much expenses. Washing the corpse of a Muslim person in places where non-Muslims wash the corpses of their dead people is permissible as long as it is not easy to do otherwise without costs.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
