Burying a Muslim in countries of disbelief: a Sharee‘ah ruling
I, along with my family, have been staying in Italy for 25 years: is it permissible for a Muslim to be buried in the same country in which he dies, even though the majority of its inhabitants are Christians?

It is hoped that someone who is killed by oppression is counted as a martyr
I disagreed with my friend about using the word "Shaheed" (martyr) for someone who was killed without right. He claims that we should consider that person to be a martyr, because he was killed by betrayal and oppression, in accordance with the Hadeeth: "Whoever is killed defending himself is a martyr." Is this true? To what extent can this Hadeeth be.. More

It is not permissible to bury the deceased without washing (the corpse)
I have a question surrounding the ruling of a person who died in another country. The corpse was transported to his own country in a coffin that was tightly sealed.

Please provide evidences from the Quran and Sunnah, may Allaah The Almighty Reward.. More

Ruling on the Janaazah prayer if a group of deceased Muslims are mixed with non-Muslims
There was a Muslim funeral that included non-Muslims (among the dead) and it was impossible to distinguish between them, as it happened during the floods that struck the south Philippines, as the dead were piled on top of one another. Without a doubt, there were Muslims who died therein, so are they prayed over and how is that accomplished?

Uncovering the face when burying the dead: is it from the Sunnah?
My father was buried in Al-Baqee‘ (graveyard in Al-Madeenah). When I lowered him into the grave, the gravedigger asked me if he should undo the shroud from around his face, so I asked him what the Sunnah practice is and he told me that it is the Sunnah to uncover (the face). So I did so, but after I read about burial, I learned that only the Muhrim.. More
