According to the Qur’an and Sunna and the Opinions of the Classical Scholars of Islam

This is a detailed, yet easily accessible, manual on what to do when someone dies. It covers the procedures due upon a person’s death. The rites of preparing the body for burial, the bathing, the shrouding, and the procedure for funeral prayer, according to all four Sunni schools, are discussed. Many important questions are answered.

  • Is it permitted to transport the body abroad for burial?
  • Can a headstone be placed on the grave?
  • What can the heirs do for their deceased loved ones after burial?
  • What are the etiquette for visiting graves?
  • Is the posthumous donation of reward (isal al-thawab) permissible?
  • Finally, how does one make atonements and expiations and settle debts on behalf of the deceased?

A very good blend of classical scholarship with modern information that is sure to educate.

Indeed, an important reference point for all on this subject that concerns us all.

I hope this book becomes a means of reviving the Sunna and rejecting innovation, and that it inspires many to prepare for the ultimate meeting with their Lord.

I ordered only a few days ago and it arrived promptly a few hours ago. I'm only a quater of the way through and Mashallah a much needed read for everyone. This is such an important topic, if only there was a way to endorse this book into local madrasahs and even muslim funeral directors!
