📌 In this important fatwa, Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan explains the ruling on burying a Muslim in the lands of the kuffar and whether a Muslim may be buried among the graves of non-Muslims. The Shaykh explains that Muslims living as minorities in non-Muslim lands should establish cemeteries specifically for Muslims. A Muslim should not be buried among the graves of the mushrikin. If transporting the deceased to a Muslim land is possible, there is no harm in doing so. Otherwise, Muslims should have a designated cemetery that is separated and protected by walls or barriers. 📌 Fatwa Source: [69] حكم دفن المسلم في بلاد الكفار بالقرب من قبور المشركين - #العلامة_صالح_الفوزان https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36XhuzWavvE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ Authentic and True — From the Scholars to You ✦ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Islam #Muslim #IslamicRuling #Fatwa #IslamicFatwa #SalihAlFawzan #ShaykhSalihAlFawzan #ShaykhFawzan #Fawzan #MuslimBurial #IslamicBurial #BurialInIslam #MuslimCemetery #IslamicCemetery #MuslimFuneral #IslamicFuneral #Janazah #FuneralInIslam #DeathInIslam #Graveyard #MuslimGraves #Fiqh #IslamicFiqh #Salafi #Salafiyyah #Sunnah #AhlusSunnah #IslamicKnowledge #AuthenticAnswers
