Is it permissible to bury Muslim deceased in a cemetery adjacent to a Christian cemetery, both sharing a single entrance, with a divider between them?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is permissible to acquire a plot of land as a cemetery for Muslims, provided that it is completely separate from Christian cemeteries. If complete separation is not possible, then they should have a dedicated section for themselves at the edges of the non-Muslim cemetery. This strengthens the presence of Muslims and preserves their identity in non-Islamic countries.
