  • An Alternative To Burying The Dead Body

    Assalamu Alaikum

    In Islam, is it mandatory to bury the dead body itself in the Nograve or other things can be done?

    For example: at some places they cremate the dead body and then scatter it in some forest or put it in an urn and then bury the urn.

    Another thing that is it permissible to bury a person in a grave where a person is already buried, like after a little time like 30 years when the body is decomposed fully

    Islam did not specify a method of dispose of the bodies. Therefore dead bodies during sea journey are out into the water.

    However to bury a body is supposed to be the most honourable way. Therefore it is adopted by the prophets.
