Mother died

[AnnonSoldier]

Salam U Alaykum


I live with my older sister and younger sister. We left home a few years ago. My dad works in London and has been married now for sometime. My mum lived near Liverpool, she was single and working most of the time. She past away last week.

They are doing a funeral tomorrow morning. I have'nt seen my mum in years. Im mixed race. And her parents (my grandparents) which to do the funeral in a church and have agreed with my sister that she be then taken to a local mosque so that my sisters can bath her.

They have reluctantly agreed at this, but she is to be buried in a normal grave yard and not near Muslims graves.

I would like some advice please on this.

Was you mother a Muslim? If she wasn't, what's the point of washing her like a Muslim and taking her to a mosque?

Wa 'alaykum assalaam,

To Allaah we belong and to Him we all return.

I would say..try to convince your grandparents to bury her in a Muslim part of the graveyard, see if you and your sisters can get another Muslim (maybe the Imaam) to help speak to them about this.

I hope I'm not too late in replying and the situation gets resolved.

Take care of yourself and your sisters.

If she is a Muslim then get the relevant authorities involved immediately. She deserves a proper Muslim berial. If you can't do that, then at the very least gather some Muslims there, get an Imaam and do Salaatul Janaaza.
