Is it true someone must be buried in 24 hours? What if they would like to be buried in another country which could delay the burial by days or weeks?","answer":"We are required to bury the deceased before the body begins to show visible signs of decomposition. Regarding transporting the body to another city or country, scholars have differing opinions, with some considering it haram (forbidden) and others deeming it makruh (disliked), except if the body is being moved near Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, or a nearby town where righteous people are buried and it can arrive there before decomposition begins.","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe00b76658b4c2327c5","tag":"Death: Burial and Graves","count":31}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:25.833Z"}
