Ahmad Kutty – Islamic Funerals in the time of COVID19

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

Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
