Q&A⚖️ Fiqh & Law

Should the will of a deceased person to have their body transported be carried out if doing so requires legal procedures such as blood drainage or intestinal suction?

Answer

In the name of Allah, it is not obligatory to carry out such procedures. These acts are forbidden, and it is not permissible to perform them or to take payment for them. In such a case, the will is not to be executed. However, if it is possible to transport the body without undergoing such procedures, such as by placing it in deep refrigeration and then transferring it to the desired location (e.g., Najaf al-Ashraf)—then there is no objection, and the will may be carried out, provided all other conditions of a valid will are met. Allah knows best.
