Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

Al-Lālakā`ī, Sharh Usūl I’tiqād Ahl Al-Sunnah article 136

Being buried in a masjid

 


Question:

Regarding a man who built a masjid and he willed (in his wasiyyah) that he be buried there. And he was buried there so what can be done now?
Answer:

This wasiyyah (will), meaning, the wasiyyah that he is buried in a masjid, is incorrect. This is because a masjid is not a maqaabir (graveyard). And it is not permissible to be buried in a masjid. And the carrying out (of the requests) of this wasiyyah is forbidden. And what is obligatory now is to exhume this grave and to transfer it to the graveyard of the Muslimeen.
