Islamic Funeral Rites: Fiqh and Practice, by Mostfa Brahami

Islamic funeral rites: Fiqh and practice, by Mostfa Brahami, Tawhid Éditions

Islamic funerary rites and Illness, death and accompaniment in Islam are two closely related works (theme of death), each being an extension of the other, but each focusing on a particular axis. The first focuses on funeral rites, and in particular in a non-Muslim context, and the second on the Muslim apprehension of illness, death and the necessary support. However, we have separated them physically in order to facilitate their reading and application.

After the exhaustion of a first edition produced in an emergency, this book studies, in great detail, what is necessary to accomplish as funeral rites for Muslims with particular attention to the practical aspects. It is divided into three parts: the fundamental framework (fiqh) on the different obligations, the specific elements in non-Muslim lands and the practical framework.
