Allow the COVID-19 deceased muslims to be buried in accordance with Islamic Law
The UK Government has to protect the freedom of right to burial for any British Muslim citizen who passes away from Covid-19. Every individual, regardless of race or religion should have a freedom of choice in this matter and this has to be respected.
This is an extremely concerning time for everyone involved. We are united as a country but we must ensure that unity remains intact and allow every deceased person to be laid to rest according to their wish. Health & Safety provisions can be made to ensure a safe burial.
