A question was posted on a Salafi e-group here in the United States. The question was passed to me to post here to get clarification insha'Allah. BarakAllahu Feekum
To proceed:
as salaamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. is it permissible to be a mortician? even though they practice embalming and we don't this but is it permissible for us to work in this type of field? jazak allahu khairun
end of post.

i was talking to shaikh Obaid Al Jabree and i asked him this qn , he said :
there is no problem to be as mortician but dissection of the body except whene it is absolutely necessery ' it is not allowed to interfare with or maltreat the body , because maltreating with dead body is Haram (forbidden ) .
