I'm afraid that's what happens in war and I'm sure Americans soldiers have done the same to others.

oh believe me - his photos wouldn't even faze me. I've seen worse. much worse. so terrible that you would be having a couple of sleepless nights.

It's because this is too much of a high-profile case. Why fan the fire? We should show some respect and exercise with restraint because we're already in deep shit with Muslim world. No need to deepen hate.

That is why my Muslim friends did a face palm. The burial at sea breaks sharia law, according to them.

Just out of curiosty, does the Sharia law cover burial when there's no way to bury the deceased on the land?
 
Just looked it up. Here's the info:


620. * It is obligatory to bury a dead body in the ground, so deep that its smell does not come out and the beasts of prey do not dig it out, and, if there is a danger of such beasts digging it out then the grave should be made solid with bricks, etc.

621. If it is not possible to bury a dead body in the ground, it may be kept in a vault or a coffin, instead.

622. The dead body should be laid in the grave on its right side so that the face remains towards the Qibla.

623. * If a person dies on a ship and if there is no fear of the decay of the dead body and if there is no problem in retaining it for sometime on the ship, it should be kept on it and buried in the ground after reaching the land. Otherwise, after giving Ghusl, Hunut, Kafan and Namaz-e-Mayyit it should be lowered into the sea in a vessel of clay or with a weight tied to its feet. And as far as possible it should not be lowered at a point where it is eaten up immediately by the sea predators.

I have no idea. This was the topic at a restaurant dinner and I had no interpreter. They were upset and fear reprisals because of this. I'd like to know more as well.

EDIT: Thanks for the excerpt!
 
It's my understanding no Muslim country wanted to accept his remains.

Were any Muslim countries asked?

Since the article mentioned the countries that do not want to take him in for burial... I'm assuming they have already been asked.

I'm confused, lol. How many hours passed from the time of his death to the burial?

What is the Sharia law for burial at sea?

That is, suppose a Muslim sailor dies on board a ship in the middle of the ocean. The ship can't get back to shore in time to bury him within the 24-hour limit for Muslim burial. What do they do?

Oops, I posted my questions before I saw this.

Thanks for posting.

If they followed the above procedures, wouldn't that be correct?

Nope. :lol: That is a last resort and only after 24 hours.
