message: I heard from a Muslim friend that a prolonged grief is to be avoided and you're expected to stay calm as not to distress the soul of a dead person. Where can this be found in credible Islamic texts? --211.24.155.43 16:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Women at the burial

message: Some of the wording in this article is extremely similar to the web page "Islamic Rituals at Death", http://www.understanding-islam.com/related/text.asp?type=question&qid=732 . That page is dated February 11, 2000, and carries the notice, "Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Understanding Islam, All rights reserved."  Thus I suspect that some of the text of this article might be a copyright violation. I'm not taking any action right now, apart from raising this issue.  --Jdlh  | Talk 01:02, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

message: According to a Hadith the tomb stones should be not raised up, Not sure how to add so adding it here for experts to add.--Halqh حَلَقَة הלכהሐላቃህ (talk) 23:55, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for your suggestion. Al-Misri describes the tomb marker as offensive unless the deceased is a wali or scholar, in which case the grave may be marked for visitors. I find this curious. -Aquib (talk) 01:18, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tomb Stone

message: Common Islamic Burial Rituals section notes that, Positioning the deceased so that the head is faced towards Mecca which is in fact do not match with what I know and see as practiced around me. The grave is made horizontal to Qiblah so that when the body is placed in grave, Qiblah is in the right side of the dead. The face is sided to rightward so it faces towards Qiblah. I am searching for direct citation now and make change accordingly. Or if someone else can find one, then it would be good to correct it. --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadhtalk 04:27, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Reliance of the Traveler, al-Misri, has detailed instructions and an illustration showing the body on its right side on page 238. The inclusion of other Islamic customs and practices would be very helpful to the article. -Aquib (talk) 16:05, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Burial: Placement of Head and Body 

message: I came to see on this page information about the timing of the burial in Islamic tradition. I mean, should it be fast or are there some certain rites that are done before the actual burial. This does not come out from the article. --LPU0302 (talk) 13:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: (answering assuming it is not a forum question) General practice is that "burial should be done as soon as possible". I don't have enough cite source now; if you or someone else can provide hadith or other sources on this regard then a small paragraph or a sentence can be added in the article. Please, note that, verifiability of information presented is important. --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadhtalk | contribs 14:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

text: Al-Misri Reliance (223-237) says haste is recommended; a short delay for family members is permitted. There is no standard waiting period, and burial is performed as soon after death as is practical. -Aquib (talk) 15:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Does Burial have to be in the ground? 

message: Burial at Sea— section needs more work. Information represented here do not cite enough reliable source. Hadith or Qur'an sources or at least citation of notable Islamic scholars is necessary.
al-islam.org is not a reliable source. Quotation of Dr. Christian van Gorder, (associate professor of religion at Baylor University) is not very relevant; moreover it is cited from a page that discusses Osama bin Laden sea-burial conspiracy. This (Dr Gorder's)  quotation is like a Opinion, and do not reflect Islamic norm.
I assume peer review from an expert is needed, and some edit tags shall have to be added in the section. --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadhtalk | contribs 12:18, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the claim about burials being mandated within 24 hours. It's been up for far too long and, of course, has no real source backing it up. There is no Islamic scripture that says a Muslim must be or should be buried with 24 hours. Matter of fact, 24 hours isn't even a unit of time in Islamic theology. It's actually quite amazing how much this Wikipedia article has probably played a role in spreading this disinformation, especially in news reporting. A new day starts at sunset in both Islam and Judaism. Jewish theology says a person should be buried before sunset and shouldn't be exposed overnight . Sunni Islam and, from what I can tell, none of the sects of Shia Islam have any laws equivalent to that.
If you have theological sources from any sect or historical school that says the dead must be buried within X amount of time, then you might include that detail specifying that Islamic denomination rather than lumping in everyone with a generalized statement. It seems the article has some cultural traditions, that aren't even universal across all regions and communities, that's being passed off as Islamic tradition. It even claimed that mourning for the dead is four days, when actually it's three days, at least in Sunni Islam. DA1 (talk) 08:42, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
