Burial, Funeral, The West, TransmittingAbstract
This research shed light on problematic issues faced by Muslims living in the Western world, including members of the Saudi community. In the west, buying a graveyard or a tomb entails significant costs of hard currency. Whoever does not have the money for a grave, competent authorities cremate his body, then throw his ashes into a sea, or send it to his family. Furthermore, the family afford the coffin’s costs because burial in the ground is banned in the west, unlike Muslim countries. Such an issue is subjected to specific Islamic rulings that this research addresses. KSA is distinguished from any other country regarding that matter as it pays great attention to community members abroad. Whoever dies, precise procedures and excellent follow-up from the Kingdom’s embassies in countries around the world take place, based on what is dictated by the basic system of the Saudi regime.
THE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES ARE
- Developing a set of jurisprudential rulings related to burying the body of a Muslim in the West.
- Presenting a set of proposals that contribute to alleviating the problem.
- Proving the greatness of Islamic law in honoring the dead by burying him and hiding his body in the ground.
This research required adopting the inductive analytical approach which based on developing the juristic rulings of burying the bodies of Muslims who died in Western countries. The research provided a number of significant findings which will be elaborated at the end and it emphasize that the original rule is that if a Muslim dies, his body must be buried in Muslims’ cemetery, not in a cemetery belongs to people of other faiths, such as Christians, Jews, and Buddhists. It is the duty of Muslims who live in the West to join hands to establish their own cemetery. Otherwise, the body of a dead Muslim must be transferred to his own Muslim homeland or to the closest Islamic land. The research also concluded a set of relevant important proposals presented at the end.
