They say it's,
environment friendly.
It costs you $5 for cremation. You don't
have to buy it. You can buy a
plot in the graveyard.
You don't have to worry about anything. Come
on. It's very simple.
And,
and memorials, it's very costly. And in some
cases, it might cost
at least 20,000
dollars because of the food and the flowers
and the caskets and the plot and and
all the services and the functions. So it's,
it's a lot of, it's money.
But in our case, Alhamdulillah, you don't have
to worry about the suit and the tie
or the castings or the flowers. You know?
We do it very simply based on what
the prophet and the sahab did and the
sunnun.
All these things. But this is not the
the issue.
I remember one time,
not here in another place. I was at
the hospital, and the person was dying. He
was on the life support.
He probably didn't know what was going on,
and a family member said, can we remove
the the last support so the person can
say die and end the law? And I
said, well, this is not very smart because
as soon as you remove the last support,
the person is gonna die. Right? So you
just repeat it in front of them and,
you know, just leave them alone.
As I said, this is difficult times.
When the person dies,
it is recommended in the sunnah
to hasten the burial and the jannahs. Come
on. Don't delay for no reason. Come on.
The prophet
which it is not permitted to pray. So
according to,
it is okay to raise a lot of
in these 3 times. Especially, if you are
afraid
that something will happen to the body or
it's going to smell or whatever, then it
is going to, to do right away. And
number 3, when a single person,
especially a lady,
is ready for marriage, and someone is proposing
and this person is good, why why delay?
Okay? There's no reason to delay.
Because some people, you know, they are ready
to to get married and and but they
set the standards very high. I have to
marry a guy who has a job, who
has who makes a $115,000
a year, who has a car, who has
a house, and all these things.
Now when the time goes by and the
lady hits 35 or 40, now the standards
will go low.
Low, below. I'm talking about 1 high end,
1 leading guy. Okay?
So
I always say, if you find someone who
has 51%
of what you're looking for, you shouldn't delay.
You're not perfect, so how come you're looking
for a perfect person to marry? Right? But
at least someone who is who knows halal
and halal and has to
halal, so there's no reason to delay. As
as long as the person is a kufr,
the person is a good Muslim,
and the bar goes for,
kafar, I'll be able to give this a
different discussion.
Of course,
it is okay, Islamically, if someone
buys a,
plot in the graveyard during the lifetime. There's
nothing wrong. And there's nothing wrong if the
person
if
So because in touch, the body of the
so
when I die, they're gonna take this my
and nobody of the Sahaba protested, why do
you take it and prepare you from now?
Buying a plot
someone who has a very,
died because of the painful illness, like someone
has cancer,
someone has a brain tumor,
someone is diabetic and they're taking insulin and
their life is difficult and they have pain.
I'm just giving you examples. These are this
is not the full list.
Someone has a problem in their stomach, and
they died because of this.
Someone has terrible kidney stones, and they died
because of this. People used to die because
of these things.
And a long time ago, some of the
people somehow,
maybe they had a kidney stone, and they
didn't have,
something to dissolve the the stone or solve
these things, and they died because of simple
reasons. Now we have, like, you know, we
have the the the medicine, like measles and
small,
pox or pox or whatever they call it.
Now we take a pill that happened.
But 200, 300 years ago, people have died
of these things.
K? So someone if someone died because of
this, or a mother
dies, gave birth to her child, she's shahid.
But all these people, all these examples that
I gave, the bodies are washed, we shroud
them, and we give them janazah. They are
called shahid,
but in Aslan, they will give them word
of shahid. But in dunya, we,
treat them just like
normal people.
The 2 types of people who are not
washed, who don't shroud them, and who don't
praise and ask for them,
Okay? So this is the difference,
between the 2.
The shahid doesn't need our salah because we
know I always get this question. And because
especially in Edmonton, we had a very, big
community.
So while someone
comes to the masjid and this person committed
suicide,
someone killed themselves. You will see this sometimes.
Right? How do they we don't have it
here because the numbers are small, but in
bigger communities, they have this issue.
Someone kills themselves.
Or maybe some Muslim youth,
they're members of gangs, somebody got shot to
death.
They fight over drugs, over money, whatever crime.
They shout they are shot to death. Do
we pray Janazah for them? The answer is
yes.
Lainbu Salah. Salah for Janazah is a prayer
for Shafa'ah.
Who needs Shafa'?
Simple people like us. Right? Whether you die
a normal death or someone does something wrong.
And haqqai, if someone
is killed as a punishment,
and say someone
raped a woman or someone is a serial
killer, and this person is a Muslim,
and they are
killed by the judge. Right? In this case,
we pray janazah for them because salah al
janaazah is shatha.
The shanghid doesn't need it. Allah
is giving them jannahay away, so they don't
they don't need your salah.
And, also,
that was the last time that we're going
to see the prophet's asana, so they went
there in the grave for the barra of,
praying for the prophet's asana. So
these are the 2 types.
So these are the 2 types. What if
someone nice? Of course, number 1, who should
wash the body
when you look at the hosseid? And say,
for example, I like this brother, so I
put him in my hosseid that he's going
to, wash my body. So we look at
the hosseid first. If there's no hosiyah, then
we call their relatives,
like the father,
grandfather, or the brother, a relative.
If they are able to make a person
if they can't,
then we look for someone who can, like
someone who is in charge of a funeral
at the masjid and so on and so
forth.
And the same is also true for the
sisters. Maybe their
sister or mother, someone from her family, a
female, can do that. If not,
few brothers went into the grave. There was
a sister. She was about 24 years old.
She had a couple of kids, and she
got laughing cancer or something, and she passed
away by a mom. So,
some people from her family, 4 brothers, they
went into the grave to take a body.
And her father started to scream.
Well, it was a big crowd, so, I
heard some noise, but I don't know what
it was. And I thought maybe somebody's dead
on somebody else's leg or something.
Then,
I heard something like, get out. No. I'm
not getting out.
So somebody said,
maybe you can ask the Sheikh. Hamdulillah. Finally,
when you have a fight or a filter
issues,
the last one you can ask is the
Sheikh.
Because in this case, the Hamdulillah, everyone is
a Muslim. Ah, whatever. They fight the swords
and the weapons of mass destruction. The last
one they ask is the Sheikh. So I
said, because he wanted his son-in-law,
to get out of the grave because you
are not allowed to touch my wife my
daughter because she's not your wife anymore.
And I said, let's be there. Let's talk
with the very old man. We'll talk later.
So later when we met, I told him,
who watched,
Fatima,
the daughter of the prophet Sazal?
A'id not thought about the lawn.
And who watched as mad at Omar's?
Dies before him, he was going to wash
her body over her bosom and shroud, and
he was going to pray for her.
So,
it is acceptable to do it this way.
Also,
for children,
7 and below, anyone can watch them, men
or women. And this is the chosen who
can. But after this, it is better for
girls who are over 7 to be watched
by women and boys who are over 7
to be watched by men. But below this,
it's okay for,
any gender to wash them. And as I
said, this is a chosen queen.
And the subject usually,
in some cases, some women have miscarriages.
They have a baby,
and at some point in the pregnancy,
the baby dies and the baby comes out.
We think more about it. Well, there's a
difference of opinion among scholars, but
the majority of them say after 4 months.
And they it's a part of opinion, but
I have
to the baby, and it makes a lot
of janazah for them, and you bury them,
so on and so forth. Before this,
there's no janazah for them. You just take
the body. You you bury it somewhere. There's
no salah for them. And as I said,
this is a chosen opinion. There is a
difference of opinion.
And this usually happens in the Hulav period
or stage. Then in this case, you pray
Janazah for them and wash them.
If it is not formed, like, the body
doesn't have an end or the subtle
organs are not formed yet, then in this
case, it is Bayim, then you will pray
janazah for them.
When you have a janazah,
usually, a lot of people volunteer to go
on his site for the washing of the
body.
The people who are needed should go. If
your services are not needed, stay outside,
hamdullah, mitzvah,
maitreh,
but don't bother me.
When you start the, the list, you put
the person in a disk, something like a
board, and it has a hole in it
so the board will, go there and invade
each.
And you cover the out of the person,
and the out of for the, for the
man is from the from the for the
mat
is from the from the build button all
the way to the knees. This should be
covered. It must be covered.
Then,
we start the washing of the body. The
person who's watching the body, if you see
something good, let's say,
when we're watching the brother
or in case a sister was watching his
sister, and they say something good,
the the face was so bright, was so
light,
or maybe the person was smiling,
Maybe you can, alhamdulillah,
read the news and tell me. Because this
is Bashar. It's good to say something like
this.
Like, in the case of Radha Habib, you
know what happened? We were there with this
man several times before his, his death.
And the last night that was his last
night. So we were there, and the doctor
told us on the way inside. I had
a few brothers with me. And, they said
he has not been talking for a few
days. If he talked to them, they don't
respond.
Told him that
he did the shahab,
and every now and then he was not
conscious. Right? Every now and then he started
to smile.
Smile and smile. Because somehow, his whole life,
he was in the masjid, then he was
smiling all the time.
So it comes in naturally. You see? But
if someone doesn't pray,
they are miserable their whole life, you really
expect them to, you know, do
So you put the person in that,
place.
And, also,
so if you see something good, you hypothesize
it.
But if you see something bad, like, some
people when they watch it and there are
so many stories,
you feel like you smell like barbecue.
You don't know what is going on. And
there are stories, true stories. Some of them
I'm at. They say they go, they wash
their body's butt light,
body, and they smell like barbecue.
The body, like, someone has lost liberty,
Some some type of,
perfume that gives a good smell.
And in the last washing, you can use,
tafour, which is also,
a good, substance. It makes,
a good smell.
You can wash the body 3 times.
Minimum is 1 time.
What I can have in kebab, just like
in Muhu, is 3 times. This is the
best you can do. At least,
the body needs more washing, and you can
do up to 5 or maybe 7.
There's nothing wrong in in the sunroom.
So when you start,
the person is lying on their back.
Normally, I would ask one of you to
volunteer so we can show the washing.
But I know you guys are scared to
death
from coming forward and and doing this.
So we'll just explain you that, about Mohit
having to, to use volunteers. The person is
lying on their back. So you
you raise the
the the body a little bit to the
front,
cell goes up and you wash it and
and make sure it is, clean,
and you go back the person on their
back, and
you do hulu for them, like a normal
hulu. You wash their hands, the wrist of
the body as you normally do in the
hulu,
except for the nose and the the mouth.
Because in you would widen your mouth and
the nose. But in this case, they just
say,
your hands are wet. You pass it over
the nose,
And you can repeat this, as I said,
3 times or 5 times, maximum 7 times.
Then after you finish,
then
you wash the front. Right?
So after you do the move and you
wash the head and the beard or the
face,
then you wash the sides. You start with
the right side, the shoulder the neck and
the shoulder, and you go down all the
way. Then you go to the left side,
you do the left side,
then the left side.
Then after you finish, and as I said
in the last washing, whether it's the 3rd
or 5th or 7th,
use kafoor,
which is
something that gives a good smell and it
keeps the volume changed.
Then after you you finish, you dry them
up. Make sure you use a towel or
something. You dry it up so,
the the the shrouds the kefir doesn't become
wet.
Then
so why is it difficult to wash the
body? And in some cases, someone there was
a fire and someone was burned up. The
body was destroyed. Why are you gonna wash?
Or someone, for example, has a very, contagious
illness,
whatever it might be. Ebola. Anything. Right?
Any illness or someone
got to drown and the person was in
the ocean for 2 weeks. What are you
gonna wash? The body is washed, like, a
1000 times already.
So in this case,
they say if you are able to make,
tayamu for the body, it is okay in
this case. There are several cases. This is
one of them. If you can't
wash the body, you just do tayamu.
You hit
a dusty ground
or sand or something or a stone that
has, dust on it once, you blow in
it, then you wash the fading white or
the basin in the hands.
