Was OBL's sea burial permissible?

[codenamegibraltar]

Conspiracy theory? if Bin La-Deen is dead, i am sure he or one of his associates would tell us that he is alive and americans are lying. The same thing happend with Hamkeeo Mehsud, he was alive, his men denied his death and that was true.

Americans are saying they could have bombed the compound from drone, but they wanted to be 100 percent sure, hence the risky plan.
It could have gone completely wrong too.
President of america will not lie, cia director may be.

americans are not liars...well indians are forsure the biggest liars on planet earth that's for sure brother.

yes we saw the reputation of the drones, the drone targets were never varified, most of the innocents died of drone attacks

His daughter just made up the story too right? Stop living in denial. Life is not some conspiracy.
.
Osama's daughter watches unarmed father killed - Times LIVE

This burial at sea is an issue of interest.

While many have commented that burial at sea is not an Islamic way.

Muslims have been a sea faring lot and did a lot of trading around the world.

I am sure some Muslim sailors did die on board.

How were they 'buried'?

What does the Quaran or other religious scripture of Islam have to say on this?

What is the Islamic way to dispose off of Muslims who die on board?

 

[F-16_Falcon]

It was very much unislamic.

 

[SpArK]

Just out of curiously . Are those who are died in WOT, given proper burial including those TTP guys ...??

How and why?

That is the question.

And if some Muslim dies while at sea, what is the form of Islamic burial?

 

[SpArK]

No proper answer yet?

the muslims who died at sea was an another issue, then there is simply not an another issue then disposing them off, if their body cant be kept for time they reach the shore, islamically it is allowed then

other then that disposing of a muslim body while it can be well buried is not islamic

disposing off osama body to sea islamic or not is a criminal act of getting rid of the evidence, the guys body should have been autopsied and results should have been managed, the evidence will be lost while he is thrown into the water

Since none wants to address the issue, this is what I dug up.

Please confirm if it is right or wrong.

In the Sunni Fiqh book Umdat al-Salik wa Uddat al-Nasik, the condition for sea burial is:

It is best to bury him (the deceased) in the cementery... If someone dies on a ship and it is impossible to bury him on land, the body is placed (O: tightly lashed) between two planks (O: to obviate bloating) and thrown into the sea (O: so that it reaches shore, even if the inhabitants are non-Muslims, since a Muslim might find the body and bury it facing the direction of prayer (qibla).
Reliance of the Traveller, Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri, p 237, Translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, Amanah publications, ISBN 0-915957-72-8

But others disagree:

[A]fter 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.

Could you be anymore comprehensible? I beg you.

 

[Al Bhatti]

If some dies at sea we have clear hadith explaining how to do the funeral and burial of the deceased at sea;

But if some one dies on land 1000s of Kilometers from sea and the deceased's body is intentionally taken to sea to be thrown, that is not Islamic.

They (United States of America) first said that no country will accept his body for burial. What a silly and lame excuse.

There are countries which will be willing to accept the body for burial as a human being and as a Muslim.

They later said they did not want the body to be buried so as to not to turn his grave to a tomb "mazar" for jihadis. I agree with this point as it is very much popular in Pakistan and neighboring countries due to sufism, but still it does not give the United States the right to move a body killed on land 1000s of kilometers from sea and thrown it in the sea.

So much for them saying they gave a proper Islamic burial to Osama.They could have taken his body to US "if no country was willing to accept his body for burial" and buried him there and not revealed the burial place for let us say 50 years for example after which they can reveal the burial place if they want to.

Muslims if die in bomb blasts or accidents happening in discos or dance clubs are given Islamic burial and Osama does not have the right to be buried in an Islamic way?

By the way in how many so called Muslim countries did we hear people praying salaat al janaza al gaiba (صلاة الجنازة الغائب&#1577 on Osama. Very few countries and Pakistan is one of them, this infact is a slap on the face of other so called Muslim countries who didn't even dare to pray the funeral for Osama's burial in order to keep United States happy!!!.

Shame on all Muslims of so called Muslim countries where if a Muslim dies in bomb blasts or accidents happening in discos or dance clubs are given Islamic burial and Osama does not have the right to be prayed upon and buried in an Islamic way?
