In islam is it haram to take a dead body of a muslim abroad…as you have to put alcohol in the body when it goes in the plane so dont that make the body haram?..this is what i heard from the T.V and amnot sure if its true…sources pleaseeeeeee:D

Re: Dead Bodies

No idea, why should it be.

I do not know if concept of abroad existed once the fiqah was developed

Re: Dead Bodies

It is not "haram" to transfer the body before burying. Rather it is recommended and preferred that the body be burried as quickly as possible so it should be burried where ever nearest muslims can perform funeral prayer and burial. If there are no muslims where the person has died, then the body can be transfered to the nearest place where the burial (Janazah prayer and burying) can take place.

The use of alcohol (are you referring to embalming fluid - made of formaldehyde ?) would be something to look into.
