I’m from Wokingham, Berkshire, in England and I embraced Islam in 2005 when I was 19 years old. When I look back to when I first became muslim two decades ago, I realize that I made a lot of mistakes along the way. And more often than not, these incidents were a direct result of a lack of Islamic knowledge or a lack of knowing how to apply Islam correctly in my life, either because of my own ignorance of the religion or because of the bad advice I received from other muslims who, despite the good intentions they may have had, were ill-informed themselves or had a lack of understanding. This, in addition to the excessive zeal I had as a new muslim, as well as immaturity and a lack of life experience, all contributed to me going to extremes in aspects of the religion, obligating or prohibiting things in my life that I didn’t have to, getting into arguments and debates with other people, ruining friendships and upsetting family members. Mistakes were made, damage was caused and people were hurt unnecessarily. But as time went on and the more I learned about Islam and lived my life as a muslim and the general life experience I gained, I began to understand the…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-03T04:18:16.808168+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revert-podcast-4755840"},"episode":{"title":"Funerals of Non-Muslim Relatives","slug":"funerals-of-non-muslim-relatives","published_at":"2022-08-25T06:31:49+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revert-podcast-4755840/funerals-of-non-muslim-relatives","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/revert-podcast-4755840","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/funerals-of-non-muslim-relatives--51024525","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/51024525/funerals_of_non_muslim_relatives.mp3","summary":"What if a non-muslim relative dies, such as a parent, child, sibling, uncle or aunt? Can a muslim attend their funeral? What about the funeral procession, the burial, cremation or visiting the grave afterwards? This episode is specifically regarding the funerals of non-muslim relatives and not other non-muslims (who aren’t relatives). Following the funeral processions of non-muslim relatives, burying them or attending their burial are all matters that the great scholars of Islam have differed concerning. This episode presents the evidences of the scholars who hold that it is allowed for a muslim to follow the funeral processions of non-muslim relatives, bury them or attend their burial. There are also many muslim scholars who hold that all of these things are prohibited because they are all considered to be ‘honoring and revering’ non-muslims (إكرام) and manifestations of having allegiance to non-muslims and showing loyalty to them (موالاة) which Allah the most high has forbidden. May Allah protect all the scholars of Islam and show mercy to those who have passed away.","meta_description":"What if a non-muslim relative dies, such as a parent, child, sibling, uncle or aunt?
