Oh.
mispredicted Rahman and Rahim Al hamdu lillah wa salatu salam ala
Rasulillah. While he was happy at the Marine,
I have received questions
on various issues today, I would like to deal with the issue of
guidelines that we must observe
in regards to swabbing funerals in the present
Critical Condition of the pandemic of COVID 19.
This is a very important question.
And I would like
that all of us, some of us may be called sooner or later to we will
deal with a situation how do we observe proper Islamic funerals?
If someone in our family dies
the question is very simple, if it is ordinary times, because in the
ordinary times
we are low that
we should bathe we should shroud we should pray over. And we should
confer the family by hugging each other, embracing each other, and
visiting each other. And all those things, standard ways that we
express grief and share the grief and also comfort the family. Also,
you know, sending this person with dignity to his creator.
Islam teaches us that we are created from the earth and to the
earth we shall return. So sending off the person who have died as
best as we can by baiting and shouting, and then offering
prayers and burying gently and standing down the grave to make
further supplication and also reading some Quran occasionally,
or the grave coming to the grave or from homes and asking Allah
subhanho wa Taala to send the rewards to the bees for the
disease, and these are common practices. But in the present
crisis, when there is a threat of contagious disease, when you
closely interact with the people who have been infected with this
very, very deadly virus,
we may have to skip some of this and that is required by Sharia
itself because Sharia considers preservation of life and health,
one of the top priorities so, we are not supposed to endanger our
servers by interacting with a person who's sick OB from that
interaction, we may spread this virus and one person infected we
spread it to another, so to So, whatever guidelines the health
personnel have prescribed, we must abide by them 100%
You know, and you may ask, you know, what is there is just a
we may not be infected. We know, in Sharia, we act on the
vulnerable to learn all of jurisprudence teaches us you know,
if you're a Mufti or mastering Islamic jurisprudence, we act on
whatever to one reasonable ground. So, the scientific research have
shown there is a reasonable ground of avoiding this spread of virus
is to keep our distance and also to maintain our dose observer
those regulations and rules they have prescribed. So, it is to save
lives, we should be thankful to Allah subhanaw taala we have the
scientific community who care who want to protect us. So, we should
not so if if we cannot, if the recommendation is we are not
supposed to bait or even a make tire moon because you know, when
there is
debating is not possible we make tire move on the body itself. If
that is also Kerala is not recommended by the health
personnel, the physicians handling this kind of situations, that we
must not do that. Then what is next, we should make dua make a
prayer actually janazah can be prayed even though purification is
a requirement. If that requirement cannot be fulfilled. The
jurisprudence says if we will
is a serious situation where one requirement cannot be fulfilled,
that doesn't mean you cannot perform that ibadah. So, still you
have to do the bother fulfilling whatever requirements you are able
to fulfill. So, in this case, of course, they will back the above
body and there is no need for you to baiting that basket or body bag
with the water because the hosel is done on the body itself. So, if
it cannot be done, then if they cannot be done on the body, there
is no point of baiting, you know that box or box or bag or making
time on the bed, as some people are recommending there is no need
for that. And that is because of the failure to understand the
principles of jurisprudence. So, versatile cannot be done them and
cannot be done, no problem the volley should be taken. If they
don't allow for more than five people.
You only five people should go there. And they should, after the
burrito is done, they should make the salad to janazah on the
Griever Rasulullah sallallahu wasallam himself has set the
preference for it. And it was practiced by the seller for
salary. So we can pray janazah on the green as for those who are
watching, if they abt streamed, you know, to the houses that
people can follow and follow Serato Janaza you know, they hear
it and they see it, surely they can also perform Serato janazah
from home. Otherwise, you know individuals can go later to the
grave or make Serato OIB you know they can in absentia you know they
can make Serato Janaza when that person and later on in sha Allah
when situations in blue. Also don't forget to call the family,
the family and comfort them this is the least we could do at least
call them and talk to them in sha Allah or WhatsApp or whatever
devices you have. And it confirmed them and make dua for them and ask
Allah subhanaw taala to inspire them with patience and to accept
his will. And also pray for that person as well as the pupil he has
left behind me and last one autorola Protect the mall. So this
is briefly what is required of us. And we have lost monitor of course
after having done so, when the situation improves, we can go and
visit the grave as often as we can we can also make it worse for that
person. Every time we make our salah. We can pray for those who
have passed away. Whether our own parents and grandparents uncles or
aunts or family members or friends. We can make dua for them.
Your loss partner with Allah help us come out of this crisis and
purified in faith. And we lost one author bless her those who died as
victims of this COVID May Allah Spano to accept them as martyrs
are full of holy Hi, that was tough. Rolla Salam alaykum
