Is it permissible to bury the deceased far from the village cemetery?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to burying the deceased far from the village cemetery. However, it is preferable to bury them in a Muslim cemetery so that they may be included in the greetings and visits of Muslims, and because isolated graves are susceptible to desecration, exhumation, and construction upon them.
