Can you pay for a non-muslim funeral?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a concept or relationship in Islam known as Muwasat, which means a relationship based on sympathy, kindness and concern. It includes charitable help and support, condolence and consolation and any well-meaning attitude of wishing well Barring disbelievers who are at war with Mus\u00aclims, this kind of relationship is permissible with all other non-Muslims. 1<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keeping this concept in mind it is permissible to help needy non-muslims cover their burial costs. If the burial process includes un-Islamic rituals such as cremation it should be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n
