To bury a Muslim in a non-Muslim cemetery is Makruh, especially if there is a Muslim cemetery already there.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHowever, if there wasn&rsquo;t a Muslim cemetery available, and the family had no alternative but to bury him there, then this will not<strong> <\/strong>be Makruh.<strong> <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>(Fatawa Darul-Uloom Deoband P.399 V.5)<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<h1>\n\t<strong>Answer 2<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/h1>\n<p>\n\tRegarding your question whether it would be permissible for the family to transfer the body from the non-Muslim cemetery to a Muslim cemetery, the answer in light of the Quran and Sunnah is that after it has been buried, it is not permissible<strong> <\/strong>to transfer the body from one place to another.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAllahma Ibn-Aabideen Shami (RA) in <em>Raddul-Muhtar (P.145 V.3)<\/em> has said:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&ldquo;After the deceased has been buried, it is not permissible, to take him out unless there is a right of a human.&rdquo;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor example, if the deceased&rsquo;s family had buried him in a place where they did not gain permission from the owner etc.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tTherefore, in your situation, the family would not be allowed to transfer the body from the non-Muslim cemetery to a Muslim cemetery.\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">\n\t<strong>??? ???? ??? ??? ????? ?????? ??? ??? ???? ??? ???? ????? ?????? ?? ???? ????? ????? ?????? ??? ?????? ??????? ?????<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p align=\"right\">\n\t<strong>???? ???? ??? ???? ??? ?????&nbsp;&nbsp; (???? 146- 145&nbsp; ?3) <\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t&nbsp;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tOnly Allah Knows Best.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMohammed Tosir Miah\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDarul Ifta Birmingham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is it permissible to bury a Muslim in a non-Muslim cemetery?
