Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have a friend whose sister was killed and the body was cremated. They are of Turkish descent, and the brother is looking for an imam to perform some ritual\/prayer this Saturday in Flushing.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What can be done at this moment?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Would you know anyone?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

Cremation of a Muslim deceased is not permitted in Islam, as it goes against the dignity and honor bestowed upon the children of Prophet Adam (peace be upon him). <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah says in the Qur’an:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd We have certainly honored the children of Adam and carried them on the land and sea, and provided them with good things, and preferred them greatly over many of those We created.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The funeral prayer (Janaza Salah) has been prescribed to be performed for the body of the deceased, provided that most or at least half of the body, including the head, is present. In the case of cremation, the body is destroyed, making it impossible to perform the Janaza Salah.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the deceased in such cases, the focus shifts to what can still benefit them. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity (Sadaqah Jariyah), beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them.” [Sahih Muslim, 1631].<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reach out to the local imam for guidance and assistance in performing deeds that can benefit the deceased.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Only Allah (\u0639\u0632 \u0648 \u062c\u0644) knows best.<\/span><\/p>\n
