It is also natural for the  believers to like to be buried among co-religionists. Other Muslims  visit the graveyard and pray for their fellow believers. These things  make it desirable that the believers are buried in separate graveyard.  However, this is not obligatory and the Sharia\u2019h has not prohibited  burying the dead believers in a non-Muslim graveyard. Therefore, a  family living among the non-Muslims can bury their dead among the  community graveyard if there is no separate space available to them. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-01-01<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6060\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Also, living abroad, is it preferable for  Muslim to be buried in only a Muslim graveyard or does it not matter  that non-Muslims are also buried there? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1177],"tags":[1714,1713,1291,1712,1292],"class_list":["post-6060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-islamic-customs","tag-burial-ground","tag-cemetery","tag-graveyard","tag-necropolis","tag-qbar"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
