Petition Action

Protect Muslim burial according to Islamic belief

Petition Details

I want UK Parliament to protect the right of burial for any Muslims or individual who pass away due to Covid-19 infection or otherwise and wished to be burried.

Additional Information

The Clause 56 schedule 27 of the Corona virus bill to cremate not to be burried against the wish of deceased, without considering the religious beliefs or wish is not unacceptable.
We want UK Parliament to protect the right of burial for any Muslims or individual who pass away due to Covid-19 infection or otherwise and wished to be buried. We understand Parliament is due to consider an alternative way but as British Muslims, any other way other than burial is not allowed & totally unacceptable.
