Buried at Sea According to Islamic Custom?
#45
I hope you have learned by now that what I say here becomes the news in a few days. You are just making yourself look like a fool by denying it. This is for you ¢tevie(by the way, how do you like the fact that I can reduce you to 1/100 of what you think you are worth with a couple of keystrokes?)


Was burying bin Laden at sea a mistake?
By Zachary Roth


The sea burial "runs contrary to the principles of Islamic laws, religious values and humanitarian customs," Sheik Ahmed al-Tayeb, the grand Imam of Cairo's al-Azhar mosque, told the AP.
And Mohammed al-Qubaisi, Dubai's grand mufti, echoed that view. "If the family does not want him, it's really simple in Islam: You dig up a grave anywhere, even on a remote island, you say the prayers and that's it."
He added: "Sea burials are permissible for Muslims in extraordinary circumstances," he added. "This is not one of them."

And Abdul-Sattar al-Janabi, who preaches at Baghdad's Abu Hanifa mosque declared: "It is not acceptable, and it is almost a crime to throw the body of a Muslim man into the sea," adding that the action "might provoke some Muslims."
