What is to be done when visiting Muslim cemeteries where those who do not pray and do not uphold the limits of the faith are buried, and where Muslims are not truly distinguishable from non-Muslims? And is it recommended to be buried only with those who pray?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is obligatory to allocate Muslim cemeteries where non-Muslims are not buried. One who abandons prayer is not to be buried in Muslim cemeteries because he is an infidel due to his denial of its obligation, by consensus, and an infidel, according to the more preponderant opinion, due to laziness. It is legislated for a Muslim to make a will that he be buried in Muslim cemeteries if there are non-Muslim cemeteries in the country.
