Islamic Funeral.

Funerals in Islam follow fairly specific rites, though they are subject to regional interpretation and variation in custom.

In all cases, however, sharia (Islamic religious law) calls for burial of the body as soon as possible, preceded by a simple ritual involving bathing and shrouding the body, followed by salah (prayer).

Burial is usually within 24 hours of a death to protect the living from any sanitary issues, except in the case of a person killed in battle or when foul play is suspected in those cases it is important to determine the cause of death before burial.

Cremation of the body is strictly forbidden in Islam. It should be mentioned that the rites of burial is not constituted in the Qur’an.
