I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT FUNERALS OF ONES KUFFAR FAMILY MEMBERS.....INSHA ALLAH, SOMEONE CAN HELP IN GETTING DALEEL TO HELP THE MUSLIMS IN DEALING WITH SOME OF THESE SITUATIONS WE MAY FACE.....
QUESTION 1.
WHAT SHOULD A MUSLIM DO IF HIS OR HER FATHER OR MOTHER PASSES AND IS LEFT WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BURIAL?(NO OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS NEAR TO TAKE ON THE TASK). HOW SHOULD YOU GO ABOUT IT?
QUESTION 2.
IN THE PUERTO RICAN TRADITION , THE FAMILY GATHERS AT ONE FAMILY MEMBER'S HOUSE AFTER THE WAKE? SHOULD WE AVOID THIS?
QUESTION 3.
WHAT IS HALAAL AND HARAAM AS FAR AS FUNERAL SERVICES(WAKE AND BURIAL) ARE CONCERNED? ALSO CAN YOU TOUCH ON THE DRIVING BY ONES HOUSE BEFORE THE BURIAL,AS THIS TRADITION IS DONE IN AMERICA ?
QUESTION 4.
IN TRADITIONS HERE IN AMERICA PEOPLE GIVE MONEY TO THE FAMILY OF THE DECEASED TO HELP WITH THE EXPENSES OF THE FUNERAL SERVICES. CAN WE GIVE MONEY OR ACCEPT MONEY FROM THOSE WHO KNOW YOU ARE A FAMILY MEMBER OF THE DECEASED?
MAY ALLAH GUIDE OUR FAMILIES TO AL ISLAM AND THE DAWAHTUS SALAFIYYAH....AMEEN
