How is it to bury a Muslim in the graveyard of non-Muslims?
Question 12: How is it to bury a Muslim in the graveyard of non-Muslims?
Answer: A Muslim should be buried in the graveyard of the Muslims near the grave of a pious Muslim or of a Wali (friend) of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. It is stated in the book ‘Malfuzaat A’la Hadrat’: Bury your deceased ones near pious predecessors as punishment is not given to the deceased ones by the blessings of the pious predecessors. ‘ھُمُ الْقَوْمُ لاَیَشْقٰی بِھِمْ جَلِیْسُھُم’ those are the people even whose companion is not unfortunate. For the same reason, it is stated in a Hadees: ‘اَدْفِنُوْا مَوْتَاکُمْ وَسْطَ قَوْمٍ صَالِحِیْنَ’, i.e. bury your dead ones among the pious ones. (Kanz-ul-‘Ummal, Juz: 15, vol. 8, pp. 254, Hadees 42364) Anyway, a Muslim will not be buried in the graveyard of the non-Muslims.
