Why was Sheikh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah buried in the graves of the Sufis?
There is no specific reason for burying the Shaykh in the Sufi cemeteries, except that he was buried there beside his brother Sharaf al-Din Abdullah. Burial in Sufi cemeteries is not forbidden, as they are Muslims, and burial in Muslim cemeteries is the norm. These cemeteries are not exclusive to Sufis alone; other Muslims have also been buried there.
