Is it permissible to bury a Christian child in Muslim cemeteries?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to bury a Christian child in Muslim cemeteries because his ruling follows that of his parents in this world. Just as his Christian parents are not buried in Muslim cemeteries, neither is he, following their ruling. However, if a Muslim takes him as a captive, he follows the religion of the one who captured him and is then buried in Muslim cemeteries.
